      Problem Definition

      Triggering a full Space Export to PDF can cause an OutOfMemoryError (OOME) and crash the Confluence JVM, causing an outage. The export can be triggered accidentally while attempting to run a Custom Space Export to PDF as tracked under CONFSERVER-35540.

      Suggested Solution

      Requesting to include a Confirmation dialog/prompt under Space Tools > Content Tools > Export > PDF > Normal Export > Export button.

      The Confirmation dialogue should include a Cancel and Ok button, but also some verbiage to inform the user that a PDF export is a memory-intensive operation, and exporting a large Space (with multiple pages and attachments) can cause slowness and, worst cases, a full outage.

      This should be simple enough to implement, and might prevent a few accidental clicks.

      Workaround

      1. Fix the OOME as tracked under CONFSERVER-55021 and CONFSERVER-59643.
      2. Include a Cancel button during the Space PDF export process - CONFSERVER-45603 reopened due to new interest
