Export Content to Word, PDF, HTML and XML
You can export all or part of a Confluence space to various formats, including Microsoft
Word, HTML, PDF and XML.
To use the space export functionality, you need the 'Export Space' permission. See the
guide to space permissions.
Export single pages to PDF
If you need to send content to people who don't have access to Confluence, you can export
a single page or blog post as a PDF.
If you've got permission to view the page in Confluence, you'll be able to export it in this
way; go to the page and choose (Tools) > Export to PDF.
Only published content is exported. This means you can create PDF exports even while
people are still working on the page.
When you export a single page to PDF, the PDF stylesheet customizations are applied, but
any PDF layout customizations are not. To make your PDF layout customizations apply to
a single page exported to PDF, you'll need to use the 'multiple page' method described
below to export the single page. See Customize Exports to PDF.
Export single pages to Word
You can also choose to export single pages to a .doc file that can be opened in Microsoft
Word.
If you've got permission to view the page in Confluence, you'll be able to export it in this
way; go to the page and choose Tools > Export to Word.
Only published content is exported. This means you can create Word exports even while
people are still working on the page. Also, only the first 50 attached images will be
included in the export. See the notes below for more information.
Note that due to the format of this file, it can only be opened in Microsoft Word and is not
compatible with other applications such as Open Office, Libre Office or Google Docs.
Export multiple pages to HTML, XML, or PDF
If you want to export a space – or selected pages in a space – to HTML, XML, or PDF,
Confluence can create a zipped archive of the HTML or XML files, or a single,
downloadable PDF file.
PDF export is useful you're producing a printable user manual from your documentation
space for example. The HTML export can be used to convert your site content to a static
website, and finally the XML export can be used to import your space content into another
Confluence space (running the same or later version of Confluence).
To export pages to HTML, XML, or PDF:
1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the
sidebar
2. Choose Export
3. Select either HTML, XML, or PDF, then choose Next
4. Select the type of export:
o Normal Export (HTML and PDF) – to produce an HTML or PDF file
containing all the pages that you have permission to view.
o Full Export (XML) – to produce an XML file containing all the pages in
the space, including those that you do not have permission to view.
o Custom Export – if you want to export selected pages only, or if you want
to exclude comments from the export.
5. Choose whether to Include Page Numbers (PDF only)
6. Choose Export.
When the export process has finished, you can download the zipped archive or PDF.
