Templates

Templates are reusable PDF export profiles. Each template stores a complete configuration — page layout, fonts, header/footer, cover page, watermark, and more. Users apply templates at export time; admins manage them from Confluence Settings.

Three templates are seeded automatically on install:

Default

Applying a Template

When opening the PDF Exporter, select a template from the dropdown in the sidebar before exporting. The template is applied to all selected pages in that export.

Custom Templates

Admins can create any number of custom templates from Confluence Settings → PDF Exporter. Custom templates are available to all users across the Confluence instance.

See Template Management for full instructions on creating and editing templates.
