Summary
After updating from 4.1.9 to 4.2 the pdf export is not working properly.
All tables have 100% width in pdf export.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new page
- Create a table with 2 columns
- Paste short strings into each of the column
- Save the page
- Export to PDF
Expected Results
Each column width should be based on the contents.
Actual Results
The exported content is a full width column, that has same width.
Workaround
table
{
table-layout:auto !important;
width: auto !important;
}
If you have problems with content being cut of on your generated pdf pages the the following may help:
table
{
table-layout:auto !important;
width: auto !important;
max-width: 100% !important
}
Note:
Applying the workaround will result CONF-31874 in Confluence 5.5

[CONFSERVER-25233] Tables that contains short strings are exported to full-width in PDF exports
Just wasted 1 hour trying to get the CCS work arounds to work. Nothing works, tables are coming out terribly, its so disappointing.
The CSS workaround doesn't work for us.
When we work with tables in Confluence it works fine and looks pretty but when be export, tables get really messed up and lose all its format and properties. Doesn't matter if we use Responsive or Fixed Width tables.
Using Confluence 6.14.2
Same problem as reported by Guillaume Payet in previous comment. 2 columns looking good at the Confluence page; but when exported it is equally sized unfortunately.
Using Confluence 6.10.0
Does that CSS affect the single-page exports?
This issue also relates to single-page exports and nothing works. The doc says nothing can be done (second bullet point at the top).
I have several tables with a single-word column next to a column with paragraphs, as a web page, it looks OK but on the export, the columns are equally sized.
P.S.: Using Confluence 6.8.0.
Using this table format worked for our issues on v6.8.1
table
{
table-layout: auto !important;
width: auto !important;
word-wrap: normal;
}
We are also having this issue after upgrading to v6.8.1. The workarounds do format the column widths but it is not correctly auto re-sizing them.
This bug appears to have resurfaced again as of 6/14/2018 on Cloud .
Neither of the two workaround code snippets above are working.
This bug is also exists in Confluence server 6.3.1. Workaround works fine.
Hi Everyone, the issue specified on this bug ticket is specifically about when there's two columns with short content, exported PDF view will be that those column will be full width, as seen in the screenshots in the summary section. This issue has since been fixed in Confluence version 5.6.
