Is there a macro to exclude some part of the page from exporting? In our case we have some meta-data at the top of the document which we don't want to export to PDF.

  Yes, use the {scroll-ignore} macro to wrap the contents you don't want to export.

  Best Regards,

  PS:  Yes, it is not documented in the Scroll Wiki PDF Exporter docs. But our tech writers are just about to start improving our docs and I'll let them know.

  Hi,

  This is not working for me at all. I'm using Confluence 4.1.4, Scroll Wiki PDF Exporter version 2.3.3. I've tried single page exports and multiple page exports. A typical page consists of the following content:

  Report-on macro containing...

    ...Metadata macro to set the page title during export to this value:  %global:current date > date:shift -1m > date:MMMM yyyy%

    ... Scroll ignore region, containing an Info macro with the following content:

                            When exported to PDF, the title of this page will be %global:current date > date:shift -1m > date:MMMM yyyy%

                            JIRA Key: %data:JiraKey%

  There then follows some static text and another report-on region containing several instances of the jira issues macro wrapped by an instance of the chart macro.

  The export fails and when I try to access the error analysis ZIP file Tomcat reports it cannot be found. URL:  http://<my server>/rest/scroll-pdf/1.0/export/7F0001010136A1C36F0B72663F7BB00C

  If I access this URL (http://<my server>/rest/scroll-pdf/1.0/export/) then I get the following response:

  Prior to trying exporting this page with the Scroll PDF Exporter, the page was exporting fine with the Confluence standard export. We do need the ability to reset the page title during export though, hence the need to get this working with Scroll PDF Exporter, and to set the page title based on a dynamic value (current month - 1).

  Appreciate any help you can offer on this.

  Thanks,

  Charles

  Hi Charles,

  The scroll-ignore macro should work fine. In your case it sounds like a combination with the dynamic reporting macro which causes the problem. I know you already created a support ticket. I just wanted to make sure I also reply in the forum.

  Cheers,
  Tobias

  How could I exclude a complete page from being included, not just only part of a page?

  I'm aware of that I could not export it - but this is error-prone. So I would like to add a macro which excludes a page completely.

  Yes, Please use a label called exclude and while exporting check the option "Export this page and all children with label..."

  In the empty box add ^exclude to get all the pages with this label out from the export process.
