Confluence : How can we export PDF in portrait or landscape in the same space ?

Philippe Malera

With Confluence 4.3 we can define a PDF stylesheet at space level, but in the same space we should sometimes export PDF in layout Portrait or Landscape (for large table), that mean two different stylesheets.

But, apparently, we can define only one stylesheet per space.

Is there a way to solve this problem or should we create as many spaces as PDF layout ? (and move documents from one space to another).

Thanks for all your propositions, but I was not looking for a "woarkaround", we need an official solution which can be used by about 100 non-technical end-user.

A feature request has been opened for that issue.

Thanks to all of you for your help !

As far as I know, what you obeserved is an expected behaviour and by design. Indeed, there should be only one PDF stylesheet per space.

Is there a way to solve this problem or should we create as many spaces as PDF layout ? (and move documents from one space to another).

Instead of keep changing the stylesheet within the same space everytime you need to export in certain style. I suggest to have a Space placeholder of each PDF Stylesheet you would like to have. You might not need to move the pages around Spaces. You can keep the pages at their own home/Space, however, when you need to PDF export them using certain stylesheet, you can then use include page macro to include that page. After that, you should be able to export it to PDF using the style you wanted it to be.

Not the best and simplest solution, but I think that would do for now.

Hi Philippe,

you can achieve exactly this with the help of named pages (just google for it).

I am using it for big tables as follows:

My standard CSS is set for portrait pages with

@page {
size: 210mm 297mm; /* DinA4 */
}

When I have a very big table I put it inside a div macro with <div class="landscape">...</div>
In my CSS I define an additional section with

div.landscape {
page: landscape;
}

@page landscape {
size: A4 landscape; 
}

So whenever there is a table (or anything else) inside a <div class="landscape"> the page format will change to "A4 landscape". At the end of the div it will automatically switch back to normal portrait page style.

2019: Atlassian decided to remove the div macro for your good...

Steffen Heller

Link?

@Steffen Hellerapparently the div-macro got removed. As far as I can tell you can still use the html macro and simply add the div yourself.

Sadly I was not able to get your solution with the named pages to work. I created a named page and applied it to the first page of the export. That however creates an empty page before it that I can't get rid of.

Is there any chance you could help me?
