This is a question that I posted to ESRI's "Ask A Cartographer" related to ArcGIS Desktop:
"The functionality to be able to check a box in the Export Map dialog and then Write World File for the chosen export format [in Data View] is great. However, I would like to be able to do the same from Layout View so that the map with marginalia (legend, overview map, north arrow, etc) can be used as a background image [in ArcPad]. Although the World File which would be created would only allow one Data Frame (the current one) to be correctly georeferenced this would meet my current requirement perfectly. I think this would be a useful enhancement to Export Map, but in the meantime does anyone perhaps have code which could use Write World File from Data View and take into account the position of the Data Frame within the current Layout to create a World File that could be applied to the map image created from Layout View?"
Ideally the output image would be in ECW format but I could live with JPEG 2000. ESRI's Cartographer(s) have noted my question so I am hopeful of a COTS solution sometime in the future.
In the meantime, can anyone suggest an existing solution to this requirement?
