Print backlog to PDF

Question

We used to go to the backlog and print this backlog into a PDF using Google Chrome, and after a JIRA update to v.8.2.2 we can only print the first page.

We have not found any equivalent report to this, because we wantes specially the estimated time, and the assigned user. Is there a place to configure this print output?

So, any fix for this?

It's been ~3 years :)

Hi @José Luis Álvarez

As another possible solution to your question or while you wait for the bugfix, you can also give a try to our app Better PDF Exporter, which allows you to export all your issues from the Backlog view (but also from many other screens, like Scrum or Kanban Boards or Issue Navigator and more) to a nicely formatted PDF. You can also customize what fields you want to see on your exported PDF. See an example here:

Hi,

Thanks for posting back with more details here. Sorry about this problem.  I am afraid the work-around I posted won't work for the backlog view.  I did some more research on this problem and I believe that this is actually a new bug.

I created a new bug ticket for this in JSWSERVER-20119.  I was able to reproduce this behavior in my 8.1.0 instance as well, but not in my 7.13.1 version.  Which makes me think this could be a new bug to Jira 8 versions.

As a possible workaround, it might help if you use the Board -> Print cards option:

This does appear to at least be one way you can print a complete list of all the issues there, but the format or layout of this print out will be quite different than the view you see here.

Sorry I don't have a better work-around at this time, but I would recommend watching that bug ticket for updates of this issue.

Regards,

Andy
