The decorator "printing" or "printable" is added to page rendering in print view. (see also https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CSP-7057).

PDF generation, though, apparently doesn't add this decorator, so that PDF-exported pages are put into the PDF as the online version, not as the print version.

IMHO PDF is usually used for sending information out to be printed, so there should

• either the printing/printable decorator be used for PDF generation, and/or
• be an option to set the required output mode as display or print(ing/able).

This relates to the export function on a page and the export function within the advanced space menue, too.

How do I generate a PDF of multiple pages in print view via the export advanced space function?

Thanks,
Torge
