Introducing PDF Exporter for Confluence

We're excited to announce that PDF Exporter for Confluence is now live on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Confluence's built-in PDF export is minimal — no cover page, no custom headers, no watermarks, and certainly no reusable templates. For teams sharing documentation with clients, stakeholders, or regulators, "minimal" doesn't cut it.

PDF Exporter fills that gap.

What Is PDF Exporter for Confluence?

PDF Exporter is a Forge-native Confluence Cloud app that lets you export any page, page hierarchy, or entire space to a professionally formatted PDF — without leaving Confluence and without sending your data anywhere outside Atlassian's infrastructure.

Key Features

Single Page, Hierarchy, or Full Space

Export exactly what you need:

• Single page — export any Confluence page to PDF in one click
• Page tree — select a parent page and include all child pages in one export
• Full space — export an entire Confluence space as a packaged ZIP of PDFs

Multi-page exports are automatically bundled into a ZIP download.

Reusable Templates

Admins can define export templates from Confluence Settings → PDF Exporter. Each template controls fonts, layout, cover page style, header and footer content, watermarks, and page numbering.

Once a template is saved, every user on the instance can apply it — no more inconsistent formatting across teams.

Six Cover Page Styles

Choose from six built-in cover page layouts and customise them with your accent color, company logo, author name, and subtitle. Every exported PDF looks like it came from your design team.

Automatic Table of Contents

Enable the TOC option and the exporter automatically generates a clickable table of contents from your page headings — with configurable depth so you control how detailed it gets.

Headers, Footers & Watermarks

Add custom text, page numbers, or a watermark to every page of the exported PDF. Useful for draft reviews, confidential documents, or any output where you need persistent labelling.

Runs Entirely on Atlassian Forge

PDF Exporter is 100% Forge-native. All processing happens inside Atlassian's infrastructure — exported PDFs are delivered directly to your browser and never stored on external servers.

Who Is It For?

PDF Exporter is built for teams that share documentation beyond Confluence:

• Technical writers producing release notes, product specs, or user guides for external distribution
• Solutions engineers creating polished client-facing proposals or handover documents
• Compliance and legal teams archiving Confluence content with consistent formatting and watermarks
• Project managers sharing status reports and project documentation with stakeholders who don't have Confluence access

Getting Started

1. Install the app from the Atlassian Marketplace
2. Open any Confluence page and click ••• (More actions) → Export to PDF
3. Choose a template (or use the default)
