PDF Export Troubles

Kevin Parenteau July 23, 2022

First of all, I am a Confluence noob.  My goal is to use a Confluence Space for each of my customers, and hold all of the documentation for each customer in their respective places.  I have discovered the PDF Export feature, and I also see where there are some styling options, but this is where I am struggling...

When a customer requests for their data, I would like to run the export and have a title page generated (but have zero clue how to make it) and then the following pages have TOC and with a header and footer, etc.  Each page to start on a clean new page instead of halfway down the previous.

I am not sure how to do this, and much of what I have tried with documentation has not worked at all, or provides drastically different results than what was expected and not at all what I am looking for.  So I am seeking a little more interactive guidance with this.

Thank you in advance
Kevin

Hi @Kevin Parenteau ,

You can do that by applying PDF export customizations. 

Refer to "Page Breaks" section in https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-exports-to-pdf/

To set PDF layout:

  • Select (Settings) in the Confluence navigation
  • Select PDF Layout from the sidebar
  • Select Edit.
    Enter your customizations.
    You can enter HTML and CSS that will be rendered on the PDF title page, as well as page headers and footers.
  • Select Save.
