When I try to export a space to PDF, the process stalls at 50%. Has anybody else experienced this issue and fixed it? If so, what was your solution?

Hi Anna, I think you might be hitting a known performance problem with the PDF export. There are a couple of options to improve the situation: Upgrade Confluence to 5.1.2 or later (major performance improvement) Increase heap size Export only a subset of the pages in space instead of exporting the whole space I hope this helps

Exporting Space as PDF Stalls at 50%

Curl REST API - {"message":"Current user not permitted to use Confluence","statusCode":403}

Hello Experts,

I am recently exploring confluence REST APIs. I was trying examples at https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/

So I created a my free sample Space & Confluence Page at Atlassian cloud https://userid.atlassian.net/

When I tried using curl GET example I am getting

{
"message": "Current user not permitted to use Confluence",
"statusCode": 403
}

I referred all the examples & Suggestions given at below links but couldn't able to figure out the issue. If you could help me out in understanding and showing me the direction that would be great.

Hi Anna,

I think you might be hitting a known performance problem with the PDF export.

There are a couple of options to improve the situation:

Upgrade Confluence to 5.1.2 or later (major performance improvement)
Increase heap size
Export only a subset of the pages in space instead of exporting the whole space

I hope this helps
