export PDF template options

Question

Hi all,

currently there is option in PDF export to filter with "labels" (include/exclude per page) that works fine.

I wondered if there is also way to filter by page section in anyway. For example from a tree of pages, I want to export in PDF only the title or each page and the "overview" section of each page.

Is this feasible with a page-property , tag, macro the 'target section' and then in pdf export options to add filtering for that? I am aware of "scroll ignore" and "show if" macros.

Thank you

Hi @Tom Rough , yes I am aware of Scroll Ignore macro and we use it in DC alright. But I think this does not cover the filtering option I asked for in PDF export templates (Details submenu). Thank you for the feedback.

Hey @sprearis

Were you using the native Confluence PDF export utility or a 3rd-party app, such as Scroll PDF Exporter, to generate the export from Confluence.

For the latter, we (K15t) develop the Scroll PDF Exporter app and have accompanying documentation for excluding/including child pages in the PDF export based on Confluence page labels - see here. For your requirement of 'filtering by page section', we don't have a specific functionality for this. However, it remains possible to further control what content on the Confluence page is exported by using the Scroll Ignore and Scroll Only macros - these macros come bundled with Scroll PDF Exporter when installed on Confluence Data Center.

If you're using our app, perhaps this already helps?

Regards,
Thomas (K15t)

Hi @Nicolas Grossi  where exactly to look at in the referenced page? I could not find something related to my need there, and also I have checked the advanced page too:

But could not find something related to my need.
