      Atlassian Status as of 19 Oct 2010

      Hi All,
      Unfortunately this problem is not an easy one to solve. Gadgets are generated by scripts that run entirely in the user's web browser, not on the Confluence server. Due to this, the server does not have enough information from which to export the contents that you see in your browser. Across gadgets in general, attempting to re-render them without a browser is a fairly complex issue that we don't plan on solving.

      If you wish to export the results of a gadget, we recommend a couple of work-arounds:

      • Use the browser's own print functions
        For example, on MacOSx you can print straight to PDF using your print menu.
      • Taking screen-shots of the gadgets
        This is a more manual (and less elegant) solution, but it would allow you to share the results of a gadget in a word document by simply copy-pasting the screenshots into a word document.
