Table styling lost when exporting to PDF

Kris Fininen July 10, 2018

We are trying to style tables in Confluence pages and retain the styling when we export to PDF. We discovered a few ways to accomplish this, CSS blocks, Bob Swift Table Plus macro, etc., which all work great while viewing pages within Confluence. However, when we export to PDF using Scroll PDF Exporter, all formatting is lost except for the styling applied using the built-in TinyMCE editor, which BTW, appears to be some weird limited edition because I know you can do much more with a full-version TinyMCE editor, like that found in WordPress.

Things we've tried:
Table Plus macro
CSS Block with wiki markup
Inline CSS
Exporting to Word
Print to PDF

Has anyone figured out a way to export to PDF and retain table styling? The only workaround we've found so far is to use the Table Plus macro to style the table and then take a screen shot and use the image. This works as long as we don't need any functionality in the table but it's a poor workaround for something so basic as defining table row and background colors.
