Maybe our OneOffixx Exporter could solve your requirement. You can either export pages as PDF or as Word. The setup is really easy and straightforward. You can find the [OneOffixx Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220419/oneoffixx-exporter-word-pdf?hosting=server&tab=overview) on the Marketplace and our [LIVE EXAMPLES](https://focuspro.eps.ch/display/PEPSMarktExampleOOE) are ready to test; no registration is needed.

If you need all freedom in formatting, we provide also a OneOffixx Exporter Pro Version. Please get in contact with our support via our [service desk](https://issue.eps.ch/servicedesk/customer/portal/6). The first PDF/Word template is offered by us.

As Shannon mentioned, you might want to have a look at our [Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence).

Besides more powerful and easier customization options for your PDF templates (by introducing a graphical template designer), you can place an export button on your Confluence page template and preselect a specific PDF template. Every time a page gets created with the page template, the button will be displayed on the page, and users can click on it to create an export with a predefined layout. [See here](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-pdf-exporter/latest/how-can-i-insert-an-export-button-125703458.html) for further information about the export button.

When it comes to table handling, you could also check out our Scroll Tablelayout Macro, which offers additional control over the export of tables. You can find further information in our [docs](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-pdf-exporter/latest/change-the-table-format-137863417.html).

As with all Marketplace Apps, [Scroll PDF Exporter can be evaluated for free for 30 days](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence), so you should have enough time to try out if it fits your needs.

If you need help or have any questions regarding the app, please feel free to let us know via [support@k15t.com](mailto:support@k15t.com), our team will be happy to help.

Best,  
Nils

body: Hello Danielle,

Welcome to Community! It's nice to have you.

You can [customize PDF exports](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html) either per site, or per space. The template determines only how a created page will look, but the PDF export settings in the space or site will determine overall how the PDF export looks, not the template.

There is also a 3rd party add-on for PDF exports that might help you with this issue:

* [Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

I'm not too familiar with this add-on myself, but I do know it gives you greater control over your PDF exports and so it could possibly help you in this situation.

I hope that's clear but do let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon

Are you sure that what you write is true?
