Export single page to PDF poor formatting after upgrade to Confluence 6.6.2
Asked by VLADIMIR_MURAVLEV:

After upgrade confluence from 6.0.7 to 6.6.2 export single page to PDF is spoiled

Status macro without colored backgound

Table columns all the same width

Title font bold

Look at the page that was exported in 6.0.7

![confluence6.0.7.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/16340i10A59A592A43B763/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence6.0.7.png")

Below is the same page exported in 6.6.2

I've tested this on my own instance but using 6.7.1. I can confirm the issue with the status macros, and the title is indeed bold.

I would expect the title to be bold, but can you let me know how the smaller text below the title is formatted?

As for the status macro, it may be this bug:

* [CONFSERVER-52269](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-52269)

Can you let me know if you have [a Context path se](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-change-the-confluence-context-path-707985922.html)t, and if so, can you remove it and see if you have the same issue with the Status Macro

Regards,

Shannon

body: Title is too bold, it is not **that** bold on confluence page in browser. Screenshot of 6.0.7 export is pretty close to how title looks on confluence page in browser.

As for status macro, no we don't have context set up. There is no Context node in server.xml

Context property in confluence.cfg.xml looks like this: \<property name="confluence.webapp.context.path"\>\</property\>

We have Jira and Confluence on the same host and Apache proxy set up to make URLs <http://jira.ourdomain.net> and http://conf.ourdomain.net

Below you can see how other text below the title is formatted. Font is good. If you wish I can send you full document to personal email.

The most annoying thing is the width of table columns. Columns 1, 2 and 3 should be narrow to leave more space for columns 4 and 5 which contain text. When all columns are of the same width pdf document stretches down for many pages and becomes very difficult to read.

Thank you for confirming. So for you, the font **is** bold, but not as bold as it is in the PDF export, correct?  

Can you check both your site and space PDF customizations and make sure that you don't have any stylesheets configured?

Sorry, I didn't quite get you.

In this paragraph I talk about page title, which font is controlled by confluence, not by user. As far as I can see on the page in browser the font is not bold. Earlier in PDF export the font was not bold too. Not it became bold. This is a minor issue if at all.

Also there are two lines below that are in fact styled bold by the user. They were not bold earlier in PDF export and now they became bold. I guess this is improvement or a bug fix.

Document on the first screenshot (good one) was exported on February 2nd. I'm sure I didn't make any PDF and style sheets customization since then. Only confluence upgrade from 6.0.7 to 6.6.2.

**Confluence administration**/**Global PDF Stylesheet** is now empty and always was.

In **Global PDF Layout** all three options are also empty.

I can check any other specific settings on your request.

Please pay attention on table column width issue, this is most important.

Maybe there is some way to roll back to old version of PDF export plugin as a workaround?


author: Shannon S
body: Vladimir,

It shouldn't be possible to roll back only the PDF export plugin, but we do really need to see a copy of the content on the page as well as your support zip, so I made a support ticket that you will receive in your email shortly.

Could you please upload that content you offered to send earlier and the Support ZIp to your ticket on this URL:

* [transfer.atlassian.io](https://transfer.atlassian.io)

That will go straight to your support ticket and we can troubleshoot from there.

Thank you for your help!

Regards,

Shannon
