Any way to get draw.io vector graphics in Scroll PDF export in Confluence Cloud

Hi there

I have been struggling to get draw.io vector graphics in my Scroll PDF export, using Confluence Cloud. I have tried various approaches, but have not been successful.

• I have tried exporting as SVG and include the files directly: No luck, the svg exported from draw.io is non standard with respect to text, so texts are not transferred correctly.
• I have tried exporting PDF and include them, but this will include either a link or the macro pdf preview, not the actual content.

Anyone that knows how to make it work?

Alternatively, does anyone know how to make draw.io automatically increase the resolution of the generated PNG (that Scroll Exporter grabs), so one does not have to do it manually?

BR

  I've submitted this as ticket 33308 directly. We'll see the k15t guys at summit in a couple of weeks and try to make time to discuss.

  David, that would be awesome. Thanks a lot!

  Being able to do this, even if it requires manual customization or other semi-complicated steps would hugely improve our possibilities of porting a lot of technical drawings into draw.io.

  Kind regards

  Sorry, I didn't see a notification for this, for some reason. We're tracking as https://trello.com/c/VionAQLn/70-export-in-higher-res-for-scroll-pdf-output. We haven't resolved yet, but it's due for another look shortly.

  We've just released a change to increase the resolution, let me know if that fixes it for you.

  Hi David
  
  My observation: Opening a draw IO drawing in Confluence, and clicking "save and exit", will now attach a preview with double the "DPI" of the previous version (double resolution in both dimensions). This preview would appear to be included in the Scroll PDF export. The result is a much improved quality of the drawing when printed.

  I am very happy with this! It is a good solution, and will, in practice, make it much more feasible to include Draw IO drawings directly in exported PDF's.

  If there is a wishlist or similar somewhere, I could wish for

  * Very good solution: Ability to control the resolution (dpi?), perhaps on a global or item-by-item basis.

  * Perfect solution: Somehow get a standard SVG and embed it in the PDF export.

  
  But, current solution is a huge improvement. Thanks a lot!
