Shadow on Table in PDF Export from Confluence

Aina Afrina

Hi,

I’m encountering an issue when exporting a Confluence page to PDF. Currently, the tables in the exported PDF have a shadow that wasn't present previously. I’ve tried adding the following CSS in the PDF export settings (Space Settings) to remove the shadow:

box-shadow: none !important;

However, this hasn’t resolved the issue. Below is an image of the table as it appears after being exported to PDF:

Could you please assist with resolving this issue or suggest another solution to remove the shadow from tables in the PDF export?

Thank you.

@Aina Afrina Could you list the steps you're using to replicate this? I'm guessing it's related, but if I look at the table on my site and I can see those shadows when I scroll left and right on my confluence page. (I inserted the table using the widget from the toolbar)

You may want to contact Atlassian Support to see if there's a way to remove that. It seems to be standard functionality.

The shadow only appears after the Confluence page is exported to PDF. On the Confluence page itself, the shadow is not visible; it only shows up in the exported PDF.

I'm experiencing the same thing. To reproduce:

* Created a new page

* Added a table

* Exported to PDF

Hi @Aina Afrina ,

My team at K15t builds Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence. Now, this is a paid Marketplace app, so it might not be a solution depending on the budget your team has. But I wanted to mention it anyway as a possible solution (even as an interim measure, until the issue is resolved by Atlassian), as exports created with our app won't have the shadow on tables.

You can also customize the tables and all other elements as you'd need when you set up your templates.

Having same issue, guess it hasn't been fixed.

Had the same issue a week ago, where the sides of the table had a shadow-effect (which should not have happened) after Exporting the Confluence Page to PDF. This looked the same as posted here - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Shadow-on-Table-in-PDF-Export-from-Confluence/qaq-p/2830053/comment-id/324310#M324310 and https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Shadow-on-Table-in-PDF-Export-from-Confluence/qaq-p/2830332/comment-id/324335#M324335

Tried solving it by fixing the CSS file through this:

box-shadow: none !important;

But that didn't help.

Now, with the new update from Atlassian, this issue appears to be fixed.

This is what it looks after the fix:

Had the same issue. Noticed previously this kind of shading also appears on screen if the table is wider than the available screen size. Shading was not on screen for this table, but tried something really random anyway - to give the table more space on screen I moved the window to my bigger external monitor, from my smaller laptop screen, and exported to PDF from there. Fixed the problem just like that, no shading on the table in PDF.

Same issue. Not fixed. Setting box-shadow in the CSS doesn't fix it. It's happening for me when I put a table in an excerpt. You can't resize tables in excerpts (thanks Confluence) and the PDF exporter seems to think there's an overflow.
