PDF export to landscape doesn't stretch the content to the page width

I have a table with multiple columns that are all squashed up when I export to PDF portrait (default). I used the Scroll landscape macro but when I export it, it doesn't use the full width of the page, it still squashes it all up.

  Hi Gillian, thanks for the post.

  Had you copied and pasted the table into Confluence from an external source (ie. another program/website)? If so this can sometimes lead to additional code being retained in the storage format of the page which our app processes and can affect the table handling we apply in the export. You can read more about how tables are handled here. 

  If you added the table using the normal Confluence editor, does it make a difference to the table if you manually adjust the column widths using the slider tool for the table in the edit mode and then save/export again (see below):

  

  If this makes no difference please can you reach out to us via help@k15t.com and send us;

  • details for the Confluence deployment type you're using (eg. cloud or server)
  • if you're using server/DC, details of the version of Scroll PDF Exporter
  • an XML export for the affected page
  • a debug export for the affected page

  Thanks, Thomas (K15t)

  Hello Thomas

  I can confirm that I created the table directly in Confluence, I didn't copy and paste from another source.

  Also, in edit mode, I have adjusted my columns and I use the 'full page width' setting.

  Hi Gillian, thanks for the reply.

  In that case I think it would be best to investigate this further in a support ticket.

  Therefore, please can you reach out to us via help@k15t.com and send us;

  • an XML export for the affected page
  • a debug export for the affected page

  From the screenshot it seems you are using Confluence Cloud, however, if this is not the case please let us know.

  Thanks, Thomas (K15t)

  Thank you for coming back to me. I'm trying to obtain the XML export and debug report and will log via support when I have them.

  Regards

  Gillian
