Confluence allows you to export a single page, a part of a space, or an entire space into a single PDF file.

Exporting Single Pages

You can export a single page in Confluence to PDF simply by doing the following.

The page Navigating to the Export PDF Option does not exist.

If you wish to export multiple particular pages or the entire space, follow the instructions below.

Exporting Multiple Pages or the Entire Space

To export to PDF, you will need 'Export Space' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space Permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.

To export to PDF,

  1. Go to the 'Advanced' view for the page. To do this:

    • Go to a page in the space, open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Advanced'. The 'Advanced' view will open.
  2. Click on 'Export Space' in the left panel.

  3. Click the radio button to select PDF from the list of export options.

  4. Check the box 'Include Comments' if you want to include the comments for the pages you are exporting.

  5. Select the pages you want to export by checking the boxes in the tree view of pages displayed. By default, all pages are selected. You have the option to 'Check All' or 'Clear All' pages. See screenshot.

  6. Click 'Export'. This will create a zipped file of the PDF document.

  7. Extract the zip file. Click on the PDF file to launch it.
Notes

Only image attachments which have been inserted into a page are included when exporting to PDF.

To export a PDF containing international text, you need to install a Unicode font in Confluence.
