Hi there,

Does this occur when exporting a specific page in Confluence? Can you check if it contains any images? 

What version of Confluence are you using?

Confluence Version 6.2.4 

Well nopes it does not occur for all pages in confluence rather it occur on specific pages with Latex formula images.

I guess this is the BUG on Plugin part as per my serach

BUG : https://thepluginpeople.atlassian.net/browse/CLATEX-16.

This is due to latex formula images present in the page:

Raised and support request to plugin vendor  SUPPORT-2891

Sad part id they closed the issue stating......

Hello,

This is a known issue, CLATEX-16 Open 

The Latex plugin is a free plugin and is only being maintained for compatibility with new Confluence versions. No active development feature development of the plugin is being undertaken at this time. It is unlikely the problem you describe will be resolved in the short term. Please watch the related issue for any future updates.

 

Best Regards

Avin,

Thank you for letting me know you were able to determine the issue. I'm sorry to hear the information you found.

I've tagged the vendor on this in case they have any feedback but it's likely that there haven't been any updates since the last one you saw.

Regards,

Shannon
