One of the most demanded new features of ArcGIS 10.1 for Server is the out-of-the-box support for printing in web applications. This feature has ranked number 1 in ideas.esri.com for a long time, so we are proud it made it into the 10.1 release.

ArcGIS Server 10.1 includes a new PrintingTools geoprocessing service which can be used from the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex and some ArcGIS.com templates very easily. This service is also supported by the ArcGIS APIs for JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight. Through this service you’ll be able to create high quality maps from your web applications in image and PDF formats.
