Why PDF Export contains of table of content with hyperlinks to Confluence pages?

[Piotr Zawada]

I would love to know why does PDF Export contain of table of content with hyperlinks leading to Confluence web pages? I believe that the aim of the table of content is to lead to a specific place in the document, not to the sourced pages on Confluence.

 What is the way to fix those in my PDF Exports?

Hello @Piotr Zawada 

Unfortunately, the PDF export feature seems to have worsened in the recent months. But I think the links to Confluence things was there for quite some time.

What I can advise is testing Scroll PDF Exporter app by K15t. It produces much better results, creates self-contained PDFs, has a ton of customization options, etc. Or you can try finding a different app. (I don't work for K15t but I used their app in the past).

I know that app is not an ideal solution but with native PDF exports being effectively broken...

Hi there @Kristian Klima

Thanks for your responses and tips. I am afraid that the pricing for Scroll PDF Exporter app would be a killer for our wallet. I can see that there is an option to try it for free, but I do not know if I am allowed to launch it for our organisation.

Hi @Piotr Zawada Depends on how strict your policies are :) 

What I'm doing is that I have a private Free Confluence where I created a bunch of Lorem Ipsum pages that have features I use most in production.

Then I install and test apps on that Free site. Not only that, many apps are free for up to ten users, and as I'm the only one on my site... So you can test and experiment all you want. It's also a great learning tool

Hi @Kristian Klima Sounds good, but I am afraid that the number of pages and spaces needed to be exported exceed the pricing for this tool. Nevertheless I will try out your tip just to confirm the addon work with my exports.
