How can I select only parts of a space (or only certain headings on a page) when I export to PDF?

Question

Years ago, Confluence allowed us to select exactly what we wanted to export to PDF, I believe on a tag basis. For example, if I created an Installation Guide with the following headings:

* Plan your installation
* Review prerequisites
* Back up information and reports
* Notify users of installation schedule
* Install the product

If I only wanted the information in sections 3 and 4 when exporting to PDF, I used to be able to do that.  Is there a macro that I can run, or something I've overlooked? (Appreciate your understanding...I'm coming back to Confluence after being "away" for about 4 years, so I'm rusty!).  Thanks for your help!

I see that option available on Confluence 6.4.1. Export > PDF > Custom > (here you select the topics).

Hi Beth,

Our app Scroll PDF Exporter, mentioned by Mikael above, allows you to wrap content into a specific macro to either only display in Confluence, or only display the content in the exported PDF.

Of course this would require to change your content pages, and wrap the content into either one of those macros accordingly, so I'm not sure if this would really help you here.

Anyways, the Scroll PDF Exporter is available in the Atlassian Marketplace, so feel free to test it out using a free evaluation license, if it fits your requirements.

Best,
Nils
