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:

  • Go to a page in the space, open the 'Tools' menu and select 'Export to PDF'. The process will begin, and you will be prompted by a series of dialog boxes.

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 'Export Space' in the left-hand panel.
    This option will only be visible if you have 'Export Space' permission.

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

  4. Check the box 'Include Comments' if you want to include the comments people have made on 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 below.

  6. Click 'Export'.

  7. Download and save the PDF file as prompted. Click or double-click the PDF file name to open 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.
