VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine
The VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine is an optional installation that offers the following printing enhancements:
-
Generates printouts via a web tool, which you can access via the ArcGIS Server REST interface, referenced in the VertiGIS Studio project. The 64-bit architecture of ArcGIS Enterprise helps to avoid the known memory limitations of 32-bit processes.
-
Eliminates problems with displaying transparencies (for example, selection graphics).
-
Provides the ability to print ArcGIS feature services and vector tiles.
-
Improves quality through vectorized content, even at 96-dpi screen quality.
-
Improves performance when generating the print outputs.
-
Aligns functionality with the Esri platform, through integration via a web tool.
-
Supports independent installation from the ArcGIS version in use.
There are two versions of the Printing Engine installer. You can install the Printing Engine tool in different versions depending on the installation target, as shown in the table below.
|
ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or lower |
ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 or higher |
Engine Tool (v.2) | X | |
Engine Tool (v.3) | X |

Prior to installing the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine, you must ensure the following requirements are met:
-
The minimum required ArcGIS Enterprise version is 10.8.1.

Enter the Service folder and Service name of your service deployment.
- Verify the configurations in the Summary screen.
- Click Next to complete the installation.
