      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      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

      1. Create a new page
      2. Create a table with 2 columns
      3. Paste short strings into each of the column
      4. Save the page
      5. 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
