'Export to PDF' feature exporting the whole space instead of just one page

[Daniel Hauswirth]

In Space settings --> General --> Export Space go to PDF and click next.

You'll get to: https://$YOURTENANT.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/flyingpdf/flyingpdf.action?key=$SPACEKEY

Here we can choose "Select what to export".

If you choose one page to export to PDF, the whole space will be exported.

It used to work back in February / March when I last needed it.

Any workarounds?

Hi @Daniel Hauswirth and welcome to the Community.

I can confirm that this is the case - and it's most likely a bug.

@Jack Brickey - this works for a single page but doesn't address the issue of exporting a section of the tree. I tried to export two pages and ended up with a full space export.

I'll open a ticket with Atlassian.

[Daniel Hauswirth]

Thank you @Kristian Klima for confirming and creating a ticket.  :-)

[Kristian Klima]

@Daniel Hauswirth The ticket's created, me and an Atlassian Support live tested it again, were able to replicate the results.

[Daniel Hauswirth]

@Kristian Klima  thank you very much. Is the ticket public? If so, I'd like to follow it.

Bump / would also like to track remediation of this bug...

[Kristian Klima]

@Daniel Hauswirth and @gemory - not yet, will share when it moves from my request to a bug.

[Greg Landgraf]

please fix the inclusion of images in the header and footer too... bummer that these features stopped working.

Here's the official bug ticket:

@Kristian Klima 

my I ask you if you could create a follow-up ticket? Or could you point out where I could create a ticket at CONFCLOUD?

is situation

Changing orientation does not work, as described in https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html. I further assume, that nothing in Space settings --> look and feel --> PDF export --> PDF stylesheet is actually applied.

How to Reproduce

1. Go to a space with multiple pages and where you have admin permissions
2. Go to Space settings --> look and feel --> PDF export --> PDF stylesheet 
3. Add something like the code block at the bottom of this commentPDF Stylsheet:
4. Export a page --> Space settings --> General --> Export Space go to PDF and click next.
5. See page in portrait orientation.

@page
{
size: 297mm 210mm; /* is landscape */
margin-top: 2.54cm;
margin-bottom: 2.54cm;
margin-left: 1.27cm;
margin-right: 1.27cm;
}

Edit to Add:

What I describe only happens if you export the pages via Space Settings - General - Export Space.

Exporting via a single page via ... --> Export is using the Landscape setting.

[Jack Brickey]

Hi @Daniel Hauswirth , if you navigate to a specific page and click on the more… Do you have an option to export?

[Daniel Hauswirth]

Yes I know that export of single pages. But the export via https://$YOURTENANT.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/flyingpdf/flyingpdf.action?key=$SPACEKEY  was possible to add Page Numbers and probably other configurations.

We used it to export a report and include couple of pages. Look like it is a bug at the moment in the PDF Export, either the whole space can be exported or only one page via ... --> Export

*Edit*:

I assume something got broken with the "newest export feature". I guess Atlassian will improve it over time, I need it in February, so fingers crossed improvements are making it on the priority list :)

[Jack Brickey]

Understand. I was just offering a workaround per your request.

[Matthias Gaiser _K15t_]

@Daniel Hauswirth, I hope Atlassian fixes that bug until February.

If they don't - and you need an urgent solution, you could trial a PDF Exporter app from the Atlassian marketplace. I'm with K15t and can confirm that our Scroll PDF Exporter is not affected by this bug.

[Kristian Klima]

Update: the support team were able to replicate the issue on my private Confluence and passed it on to the dev team.

Still no public ticket but I expect there will be one.

I've created a follow-up: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Layout-for-PDF-Export-in-Look-and-Feel-Does-Not-Work/qaq-p/2937016#M334088

This has now been fixed

[Chenlei_Zhang]

Hi, I have the same problem, too.

And I haven't the option to export on document page
Is there any update on this issue?

Thanks

[Jack Brickey]

For updates I recommend watching the issue the Kristen provided - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-80402 

[Julia Eder]

Hi, I have the same problem. I want to export multiple pages of one space. I used the "export space" function and selected the specific pages, but Confluence always exports the entire space.

Is there any update on this issue?

thanks :)
