Can I link to a PDF by page name?

[Greg MacLellan]

While viewing a page, such as /display/DOC/Page+Name, you can click "Export to PDF" and get a url like /spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=403746. Is it possible to get the PDF URL using the space and page name?

What I'd like to do is have my CI build automatically fetch release notes as a PDF, which are named based on the version number. It would be very easy if it just has to grab a URL (such as /display/DOC/Page+Name?format=pdf or /display-pdf/DOC/Page+Name), since the CI server knows the version number, but doesn't know the confluence pageId.

Hi Greg,

if you can develop a plugin, you can write a plugin with a servlet module to do so. The Servlet can get the id via the api and make a redirect to the pdf url, which uses the pageid as a parameter.

It is not possible to do by page name. Could you go to SQL in your build to look up the id and then submit the URL?
