Getting Started

Export Confluence pages to professionally formatted PDFs in just a few steps.

Overview

PDF Exporter for Confluence lets you turn any Confluence page — or an entire space — into a polished PDF document. Choose from pre-built templates, customize headers, footers, cover pages, watermarks, and table of contents, then download your export in seconds.

Prerequisites

  • Atlassian Confluence Cloud instance
  • PDF Exporter for Confluence installed from the Atlassian Marketplace
  • A valid license (free trial available on install)
  • Confluence Space or Page edit permissions to access the exporter

Step 1: Install the App

Install PDF Exporter for Confluence from the Atlassian Marketplace. See the Installation Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Step 2: Open the Exporter

  1. Navigate to any Confluence page
  2. Click the ··· (More actions) menu in the top-right toolbar
  3. Select Export to PDF
  4. The PDF Exporter panel opens

Alternatively, access the exporter from the Apps menu in the Confluence global navigation.

Step 3: Select Pages

Use the hierarchical page tree to select the pages you want to export:

  • Check a single page to export just that page
  • Check a parent page to include it and all its children
  • Use the search bar to quickly find pages across the space

Step 4: Choose a Template

Select a template from the sidebar dropdown. Templates define the visual style of your exported PDF — font size, header/footer, cover page, watermark, and more.

Three default templates are available out of the box:

Template Description
Default Clean export with page numbers, no cover page
Report Cover page, table of contents, page breaks before H1 sections
Minimal No header, footer, or page numbers — pure content

Admins can create additional custom templates. See Template Management.

Step 5: Export

Click Export. The app generates your PDF and downloads it automatically. For multi-page exports, all PDFs are bundled into a single ZIP archive.
