      Issue Summary

      When exporting certain Confluence pages to PDF, the generated PDF is randomly truncated. The export operation reports success, but the resulting PDF:

      • Is incomplete (content cut off part-way through the page)
      • Shows the truncation point changing between export attempts of the same page

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create or open a Confluence page with substantial content (multiple sections so that the PDF export should reasonably exceed a few pages).
      2. From the page menu, select … → Export to PDF.
      3. Wait for the export to complete.
      4. Open the exported PDF.
      5. Repeat the export several times and compare the resulting files.

      Expected Results

      • The PDF export completes successfully.
      • The exported PDF contains the full content of the Confluence page.
      • Repeated exports of the same page produce PDFs of consistent length and content (aside from timestamp/metadata differences).

      Actual Results

      • The export operation completes and reports success.
      • The exported PDF is truncated part-way through the content.
      • The truncation point varies on each export of the same page.
      • All examined PDFs are approximately the same file size (~850 KB), regardless of the expected length based on the page content.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known reliable workaround for this behavior that guarantees full, non-truncated PDF exports in all cases.
      Potential mitigations (not guaranteed and may not be applicable in all environments):

      • Simplify or break up very large/complex pages into smaller sections and export separately.
      • Remove or reduce heavy/complex content (e.g., very large tables, numerous macros, or embedded content) to see if exports complete without truncation.
