};

  //Check to see if the path is valid and export
  if (pdf.ValidateOutputFilePath())
  {
    await QueuedTask.Run(() => layout.Export(pdf)); //Export the PDF
  }
Export a layout to PDF
//Export a single page layout to PDF.

//Create a PDF format with appropriate settings
//BMP, EMF, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TGA, and TFF formats are also available for export

{

}
Export a map series to single PDF
//Export a map series with multiple pages to a single PDF.

//Create PDF format with appropriate settings

  ShowSelectedSymbology = false  //Do no show selection symbology in the output
};

//Export on the worker thread
