Hello,

as the title says. I have exported a space to PDF but it doesn't display the parent Confluence folders. Pages with children pages are properly exported, but folders themselves don't.

I think folders must be exported because they add context to the containing pages.

I don't know when Confluence folders were introduced but I think they haven't taken them into account when exporting.

Hi @Nexin Hub

Welcome to Atlassian community!

I understand that space PDF export doesn't display the parent Confluence folders.

As a result, the custom PDF export does not list any content from the page tree.

We have already submitted a bug report to the development team regarding this issue. I recommend following the workaround suggested in the bug report.

Folders not listed in Custom PDF space exports

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Vishalakshi Narayanaswamy

Hi @Nexin Hub Folders are kinda a non-entity, as they do not have their own content and there's no URL. Which is probably why they do not appear in PDF exports.

Obviously, it's not a justification.

I'll request assitance from the Atlassian team to share (if they can) insights if this can change in future.

Thanks Kristian. My opinion is that there should be a complete breadcrumb of the folders structure before the page content.

I would even say that parent pages would be great to be displayed as breadcrumb before each page content, so you have context of the page (as you may get there through a search and the page title maybe is not too descriptive)
