When exporting a confluence page to PDF, page owner is also being added to the exported PDF document below the page title.

It would be ideal to have an option or setting to turn this off, i.e., prevent page owner details from being exported to PDF.

Apparently with the new update, the issue appears to be resolved.

However, if you still face the same issue, I found a solution to remove the Author Name and Additional Page details from the Exported confluence Page PDF.

The Microsoft Edge PDF viewer comes with a PDF editor, and the Draw option allows Users to edit the page. So, you can use the Draw button (select the size of marker and colour as you desire) as an eraser to remove any irrelevant information from the PDFs.

Although this is not a permanent solution, but it looks like the only way to get things done.

Hi, @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ , having the same issue, while exporting a confluence page to PDF, the owner image and name, time to read the document, number of views in the document are being shown. Tired removing those by making changes to the PDF StyleSheet, but it still doesn't get removed.

Hi @Kushal H M and welcome,

you can customize export PDF format at your convenience (https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-exports-to-pdf/)

Hope this helps,

Hi Fabio,

I also would like to supress the page owner image and name during export to PDF. I have looked through the linked pages you provided above but was unable to find the instructions to do this. Could you please give me a bit more guidance.

 

Regards

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ , our users are complaining about the same problem, we need that when exporting to PDF does not come the owner of the page.
