Export whole space to PDF, but every page needs to be single PDF file.

[Bartosz Rutkowski]

Hi, I need to export whole page of documentation in confluence to PDF file but when  I do that it comes out as one big file with all the pages in it. I want to export whole space to many PDF files with one page each. I've tried using PDF edit tools but some pages when exported to PDF file have a few PDF pages so I would still need to go through all space in PDF and cut out single confluence pages manualy. Do you have any sollutions to my problem?

Hi @Bartosz Rutkowski and welcome to the Community

This is an interesting use case. This side of exporting pages individually one by one... 

Take a look at the Scroll PDF Exporter by K15t.

It does produce better PDFs than the stock exporter but also has many configuration options (and API)

I don't think it can do the whole space in separate files... in one go... it can do parent + child pages but probably in the whole chunks. Worth asking the vendor or trying it out.

Having said that, because the app is very customizable, you may be able to export a PDF that can split easily (page breaks, PDF bookmarks... if you define bookmarks for Heading 1, you'll end up with clearly identifiable beginnings of pages...).

Just try the Marketplace, maybe there are apps that have fewer features but have the one that you need.

Jumping on @Kristian Klima's answer. If you want to trial the Scroll PDF Exporter, you could achieve that by using the API and supplying as scope parameter current. From the docs:

Defines what pages will be exported:

• descendants will export the specified page and its descendants.
• current will only export the specified page.
• document will export the whole Scroll Documents document that the specified page belongs to.

You would then need to iterate through all the pages of your space, e.g. with the get pages Confluence Cloud REST API and start the export for it.

If you don't want to go the API way, I believe the only way is to manually export every single page to pdf.

PS: I'm working for K15t, the vendor behind Scroll PDF Exporter.
