Traditional raster icons (GIFs, JPGs, and even PNGs) should not be "scaled up."  Instead, the newer SVGs should be used, just as they are in the newer Confluence editor (Fabric).  This would necessitate that the Export PDF feature (maintained by the software company K15T) change the rendering of SVGs so that they remain vector-based images in the PDF rather than rasterizing them as they do today.

Does anyone (from Atlassian or otherwise) know the best way to request this of K15T and how frequently does Atlassian upgrade to the latest version of K15T's Scroll PDF Exporter?

Please kindly update. This issue makes pdf export with image actually NOT usable. The result image quality is terrible. 

Can you please give an update on this issue as it seems to be open since 2013...
And we are having issues with our documents to be sent out

I have created a clear and crisp suggestion for Atlassian Confluence team: CONFCLOUD-54983. Hope for a positive response.

Hi Manuel. I can't answer your questions. I discovered that my company has a symbol font and that I can use it for logos. Apart from that I don't know much about fonts. People from your design department should know more. And since I have nothing to do with Atlassian I don't know about their plans.

@Steffen: Now I got you right, thanks for clarification and this workaround. We will give this a try!

@Jens: I think you got me wrong. I was not talking about "writing" the logo with normal letters. What I meant was creating a symbol font that exists of different symbols and/or logos instead of letters. We have such a font. Different letters correspond to different symbols. The letter "c" for example is our normal logo, other letters are for the Chinese logo or certain brand names with symbolised letters in it.

Hi! Thank you for your suggestion! Unfortunately, we cannot implement this since we do not just have letters on our logo(s) - we also have icons. We could only try to create a mix-up of background-image and the font. But this will also not look very professional since the image will still look ugly .

A background image in good quality won't work with confluence, no matter what you try. There is one workaround that works well:

• Create a font with your logo and include the logo as a "letter" from that font

This is the code we are using:

@top-right {  
/* Our logo */  
content: "c";   
font-family: OurOwnSymbolFont;  
font-size: 22px;  
}   

@font-face {    
src: url(/download/attachments/73371514/OurOwnSymbolFont.ttf);    
-fs-pdf-font-embed: embed;   
} 

Hi Christian! Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this does not work with our use case. We display our company logo on each PDF export by embedding this:

@page {  
    @top-right {  
        content: " ";  
        font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;  
        font-size: 8pt;  
        /* Header Image ::: Specific size is needed ::: background size cannot be controlled through CSS2 */  
        background-image: url('includes/img/companyLogo.png');  
        background-repeat: no-repeat;  
        background-position: right center;  
        padding-top: 10mm;  
    }  

I tried to set a width of 301px using 'background-size', but this did not work
Do you have any hint on this?

The only workaround I found:
set the image to 301px then they won't be treated as Thumbnail.
We had to do this for all our images. I'm considering the PDF-Plugin from K15T but not sure if this will help there.

Any update on this issue? Our internal customers do not stop complaining about this issue!

Yet another 6 year old unassigned ticket
My boss would kill me if I'd had so many unassigned tickets in our JIRA ^^

We would love to see a fix on this issue. Since we have our company brand as a logo on the PDF header, we print it on every content that is exported. Unfortunately, all exports does not look very professional, if the image we put on the PDF header is blurry / displaces lines. We tried several png and jpeg files, but non could resolve this issue.

In the near term? The original ticket was opened in May of 2010? What does it take to get this on the roadmap?

Here is a page I created that illustrates the difference between Confluence-controlled resizing of images versus images resized externally prior to placing on a Confluence page. Only those with admin rights to OnDemand sites will have access to this page.

https://agileframeworks.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QoD4AQ

I also included a sample PDF export at the bottom of the page that illustrates the differences in quality.

Hope this helps!

Have a look at this discussion https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/93381/column-width-and-pdf-export (end of it)

Also true for OnDemand

Thanks, you're right. I've closed the newer tickets.

Issues remain unassigned when no one is actively working on them. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to address this issue in the short term.

I guess these issues are related:
CONF-22535
CONF-25974
CONF-19706
None of these issues have been assigned!!
