Confluence PDF export: tables become narrower

Phil Steinbach
February 4, 2026

Hello everyone,

I am facing an issue with the Confluence PDF export (global PDF export).

The table is displayed correctly in Confluence itself.
After exporting to PDF, the table becomes noticeably narrower.It looks like the table width is recalculated or constrained differently during the PDF rendering, even though it fits the page width in the editor.

Context:

  • Standard Confluence tables (no nested tables)

  • Some tables contain images inside cells

  • Export is done via the global PDF stylesheet

  • Target format: A4 PDF

I was trying to solve this via the PDF-Layout settings but couldn't find a solution yet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Phil Steinbach there are a few work items on Atlassian's Jira Site that you could look at: CONFCLOUD-74783 CONFCLOUD-79861 CONFCLOUD-79861 CONFCLOUD-82502 

There may be others, you can take a look out there yourself if you'd like.

Please vote for and watch any that look related to your issue.  

I am also waiting for some of those to get resolved.  A WYSIWYG PDF export that matches the Confluence page would help us out as well.

Hope that helps.
