Is PDF Exporter for Confluence free?

Yes. There is no trial, no license key and no paid tier. Install it from the Atlassian Marketplace and start exporting.

Who can export a page?

Anyone with view permission on a page can export it. You only see and export pages you are allowed to view. Managing templates is limited to site admins.

Does it work on Confluence Server or Data Center?

No. PDF Exporter for Confluence is a Confluence Cloud app only. It runs on Atlassian Forge.

How do I open the exporter?

Click the ••• (More actions) menu on any Confluence page and select 'Export to PDF', or use the Export to PDF link under the page title. You can also open it from the Apps menu in the global navigation.

Can I create my own export templates?

Yes. Site admins create templates from Confluence Settings → PDF Exporter, and every user can then pick one from the template dropdown when exporting.

What happens with multi-page exports?

Choose the output: one merged PDF with a shared table of contents, continuous page numbers and working links between pages, or a ZIP archive with a separate PDF for each page.

Can I add my company logo to exported PDFs?

Yes. Enable the cover page in a template and upload your logo. With the Custom design you can place the logo, title, text and up to four of your own images anywhere on the cover using drag and drop.

Can I use CSS to style the PDF, like Confluence's PDF stylesheet?

Yes. Each template can carry its own stylesheet. It applies what a PDF can show, such as @page size and margins, page numbers in the page corners, and colours, fonts, borders and spacing for headings, tables and panels, and the editor flags anything it can't apply, line by line.

Can I export Confluence to PDF on a schedule?

Yes. A schedule exports a space or a page tree every week or every month. Each run attaches a dated PDF or ZIP to an archive page, or keeps it in My exports, and can @mention people so Confluence emails them.

How large can an export be?

A merged PDF can hold up to 500 pages and a ZIP of separate PDFs up to 2,000. Exports over 30 pages run on Atlassian's servers in the background and wait for you in My exports, so you can close the page while they run.

Yes. A site admin creates an API token, and a script or CI pipeline starts an export with one HTTP request. The PDF lands in My exports and can be attached to a Confluence page.

Is my content stored securely?

Yes. The app runs on Atlassian, so your content never leaves Atlassian. Exports built in your browser download straight to you; background and scheduled exports are kept in Atlassian's storage for your site (7 days by default) or attached to the Confluence page you choose.

PDF Exporter for Confluence running inside Confluence

Where Confluence's built-in PDF export falls short

Confluence Cloud exports a single page to PDF, and space admins can export a whole space. Exporting a page tree is a space admin task, custom layouts mean writing HTML and CSS, each space gets one layout, and single-page exports skip the title page, header and footer.

PDF Exporter lets anyone who can view a page tick pages in a tree and export them as one merged PDF or a ZIP of separate PDFs. Admins set up templates once, with covers, headers, footers, watermarks, a table of contents and their own CSS, and people pick one from a dropdown. Large exports run in the background, schedules export a space every week or month, and a REST API starts exports from scripts.
