Define template settings

Template Name

• Define a name for the template. The template's name can be changed in the template header where the Save and Close buttons are located

• Define the default export scope for your template
  • This page and it's children - this will export the whole Confluence page tree
  • Only this page - this will export a single Confluence page

• Define a page size (eg. A4, A3, Letter) for your template or select Custom to define your own page size

• Define a page orientation for your template - Portrait or Landscape

• Include/Exclude - define page labels to include/exclude child pages

• Index terms - if checked, page labels will be used as index terms - learn more

• Enable numbered headings - if checked, headings will use the numbering defined in the export template

• Keep multi-column page layouts - if checked, the export uses the Confluence page layout

• Enable links to external websites - if checked, web links in the PDF will be clickable

• Enable links to Confluence - if checked, links to your Confluence site will be clickable

• Repeat table header if table breaks to a new page - if checked, table headers will be repeated on all pages that the table is exported onto

• Pagebreak - if checked, selecting this option will insert a page break after every Confluence page in the PDF export

• Comala Document Management - please see our documentation for further information regarding these export options

• Attachments - if the option Embed referenced attachments is checked, the generated PDF will contain the attachments included on the exported pages

• Show 'Table Of Content' macro output - if checked, the Confluence Table of Contents macro will be included in the export

• Show 'Children' macro output - if checked, the Confluence Children Display macro (if added to the page) will be included in the export

• Convert image gallery tables to lists - if checked, images in gallery macros are displayed in a list rather than a grid

• Figure captions - if an image is assigned a caption using the Scroll Title macro, you can select whether to display that caption before or after the image

• Table captions - if a table is assigned a caption using the Scroll Title macro, you can select whether to display that caption before or after the table

• Export filename - define placeholders and/or text for the filename to be used in the generated PDF. Selecting the + icon provides a selection of placeholders that can be used. If this field is empty, the filename will revert to the default. i.e. Document Title-Document Revision-Export date

• Optimize links for printing - if checked, a footer section is added to the exported document displaying the full URLs of all links on the page. Further customizations can be made to suffixes that are included for links to pages, figures and tables within the exported document.

• Make document PDF/A-3 compliant - if checked, a PDF/A (ISO-standardized) version of the PDF is created upon export. This file type is intended for archiving purposes and long-term preservation of electronic documents.

• Image compression - define whether images are compressed in the export. Reducing the image quality (e.g. Low quality), increases the compression for exported images and will reduce the size of the exported file. As a result, images may appear distorted.

• PDF Bookmarks -  define the number of heading levels used to create PDF bookmarks in the generated PDF Export. After choosing a specific heading level, PDF bookmarks will be created for the selected and all previous heading levels. e.g. Choosing Heading 3 will create bookmarks for heading levels 1, 2 and 3.

• Expanded levels - define how many bookmark heading levels are automatically expanded in the export. Bookmarks will be expanded up until the selected heading level

• Bookmarks Panel  - if checked, the bookmark panel will automatically be displayed when the export is opened in the PDF reader (eg. Adobe)

• Define a language to be used for formatting the date placeholders - depends on the used date format.

• Title/Author/Subject/Keywords - define metadata within the available fields to include in the generated PDF export
