Hi Atlassian Team，

Many customers use Confluence as their documentation center, import xml export to build local Atlassian products documentation is very convenient for customer to browse, search and comment, even export single page. can not imagine distribute PDF documentation to thousands of end users.

Please provide XML export of all Atlassian products documentation! This may facilitate the customer. and Atlassian product will also gain a competitive advantage.

This voice of end users.

Regards

Henry

I also like to ask to continue the XML version of the documentation to be installed in a local Confluence installation, as we see a number of slow page loads, especially from Asia and Japan, may it be due to network issues and/or geographic distance.
Having a local documentation on our own servers there will help a lot to increase user acceptance in those regions.

Please rethink your plans and try to at least provide the "normal" User's Guide as documentation in XML format for loading it into a space on our Confluence instance.

Thank you and Best Regards,

Andreas Genth

Well, this is getting annoying...

Hi Rachel,

Any more info on this subject? We are running the XML help for Confluence v5.4 and we are just about to deploy 5.7, the help contents just doesn't link up with what our users are seeing on screen.

Thanks
Scott

Hi jiracn, we have no plans to stop providing the PDF documentation

In China, the network connect to internet of oversea is very slow and unstable. so the pdf documentation is must be provided.

Thanks

Henry

Also agree on the comments. Still have privately managed networks that would use the XML documentation sets for help reference. Thanks! Tyson

Hi Rachel,
+1 for Hans-Peters comment "I like to ask you to continue providing..." and confluence.atlassian.com is not available within a few private networks.

Andreas

I've never used the XML exports.

However I do like atlassian250's idea of using it to, "look behind the scenes". I do this quite often with code from various vendors/sources and it is of great help.

In a perfect world, every possible option would be well documented. But we all know that is rarely the case.

Adding a customer comment (June 2014) from:

"What are Atlassian's plans for downloadable PDF files for products in the future? I work in a large organization with multiple large installations of JIRA, JIRA Agile, Crucible, Fisheye, Stash, and Confluence, and none of our networks are connected to the Internet, so we must have the PDF versions."
