Installation

Install PDF Exporter for Confluence from the Atlassian Marketplace in a few minutes.

Requirements

Confluence Cloud (the app does not support Server or Data Center)
Confluence site admin permissions to install apps

Installing from the Marketplace

Go to the Atlassian Marketplace and search for PDF Exporter for Confluence
Click Get it now on the app listing page
Select your Confluence site from the dropdown and click Install
Atlassian will prompt you to review the app permissions — click Accept to proceed
Wait for the installation to complete (usually under a minute)

Verifying the Installation

Once installed, confirm the app is active:

Go to Confluence Settings → Manage apps
Find PDF Exporter for Confluence in the list
Confirm the status shows Enabled

You can also verify by opening any Confluence page and checking that Export to PDF appears under the page title, and PDF Exporter for Confluence in the ··· (More actions) menu.

Setting Up Default Templates

On first launch, the app seeds three default templates automatically:

Default — Clean export with page numbers
Report — Cover page, table of contents, section breaks
Minimal — Content-only, no chrome

No setup is required for these templates. Admins can create additional custom templates from Confluence Settings → PDF Exporter. See Template Management.

Updating From an Earlier Version

The version with scheduled exports, the REST API and attaching exports to pages asks for new permissions, so a Confluence admin has to approve the update before those features work. Exporting keeps working until then. See Approve the Latest Update.
