Hi Shannon,

Are you sure that what you write is true?

On the link you provide ATLASSIAN writes:

" Changes to the PDF layout only apply to space exports, not to single page exports (via ... > Export to PDF).  "

Hi @Danielle Larcomb

Maybe our OneOffixx Exporter could solve your requirement. You can either export pages as PDF or as Word. The setup is really easy and straightforward. You can find the OneOffixx Exporter on the Marketplace and our LIVE EXAMPLES are ready to test; no registration is needed.

If you need all freedom in formatting, we provide also a OneOffixx Exporter Pro Version. Please get in contact with our support via our service desk. The first PDF/Word template is offered by us.

Hi @Danielle Larcomb

As Shannon mentioned, you might want to have a look at our Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence.

Besides more powerful and easier customization options for your PDF templates (by introducing a graphical template designer), you can place an export button on your Confluence page template and preselect a specific PDF template. Every time a page gets created with the page template, the button will be displayed on the page, and users can click on it to create an export with a predefined layout. See here for further information about the export button.

When it comes to table handling, you could also check out our Scroll Tablelayout Macro, which offers additional control over the export of tables. You can find further information in our docs.

As with all Marketplace Apps, Scroll PDF Exporter can be evaluated for free for 30 days, so you should have enough time to try out if it fits your needs.

If you need help or have any questions regarding the app, please feel free to let us know via support@k15t.com, our team will be happy to help.

Best,
Nils
