Using Different Templates to Export PDFs

Templates are the blueprint behind every PDF you export. They control everything from cover pages and tables of contents to how headings, links, and Confluence macros appear. Choosing the right template ensures your content looks clear, consistent, and professional every time.

With export templates, you can:

• Apply consistent branding and layouts across all your exports.

• Add sections such as cover pages, table of contents, annexes, and more.

• Customize headings, links, macros, and more with precise styling.

Types of Templates You’ll Find

Scroll PDF Exporter offers several ways to work with templates:

• Bundled templates – These come preloaded with the app (marked Provided by add-on in your template list) and are ready to use right away. They’re a quick way to see how your content looks using different export templates. You can copy or adapt them if needed.

• Template Library – A broad collection of downloadable templates, with sample PDF exports and instructions to guide you. You’ll find everything from letterheads, to user manuals, to presentation templates here.

• Custom templates – Create your own export templates from scratch, or customize existing ones to fit your needs.

Why Use More Then One Export Template?

It’s tempting to rely on one all-purpose template, but different kinds of content often benefit from different formatting and layouts. A technical guide, a step-by-step tutorial, and a formal letter each serve unique purposes – and each can be clearer and more effective when the right template is used to export the content.

Here are three examples from the Template Library :

Product Fact Sheet Template – Used to present comprehensive product information in a concise, visually engaging way. This template helps partners and customers quickly understand product details with confidence.
Professional Letterhead Template – Perfect for official correspondence, this template integrates branded headers and footers to deliver polished, business-ready documents.
How-To Article Template – Ideal for tutorials and process documentation, this mirrors Confluence’s How-To page styling while adding your brand elements automatically.
