Turn "More Actions" menu into buttons

AccountName:AIB

Instead of having the ... More Actions menu, is it possible to replace it with buttons that would perform the same actions in fewer clicks. For instance, replace "Export to PDF" option with a customizable button that performs the same PDF export process (performing all underlying PDF Stylesheet options).

Is such a thing even possible in Confluence? Surely others have thought of this before with some degree of success.

Old versions of Confluence did it. But the UI started to take up too much space as the list got longer, so it was moved into a button.

It should be possible by hacking the css a lot, but that is a core code change.

I've hid all the buttons/actions under the More Actions menu except Export to PDF. No other options are visible to the end-user at any given time.

All I am trying to do is change the Export to PDF option into a single-click button. Thus, there would never be any spatial issues.

I understand Confluences uses /spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId= as the underlying command. Is there no way to attach this command to a button via html/javascript/css and achieve the above?

What a horrible downgrade to inflict on the users.

I'm not aware of any javascript that could convert the button, but I do know web-fragments could be coded (and it would be very small) that can insert things like that and link to stuff.

It is extremely juvenile to be judgemental without knowing the full scope.

Having said that: I managed to resolve the issue with basic html code with the underlying Confluence command. Works like a charm!
