Long-standing OEM partnership between RealObjects and K15t – PDFreactor® leverages Scroll PDF Exporter and enables professionally styled PDF exports directly from Atlassian Confluence

Since the start of K15t’s partnership with RealObjects and the use of PDFreactor® within Scroll PDF Exporter, the app has been able to develop into a mainstay for generating PDF file format exports from Atlassian Confluence. The PDFreactor® library is a powerful tool for generating high-quality PDFs from HTML documents, and switching to this library opened up further feature possibilities that could be utilized in the app. This change has benefited both the users of the app in Confluence and also those at K15t who develop, maintain, and support the app.

The selection to use the PDFreactor® library came after evaluation of many other alternatives, but none of which could outperform the reliability and consistency for converting HTML documents into professionally styled PDFs. The decision to use the library was made much easier due to PDFreactor® providing advanced support for page layouting and CSS styling. Additionally it provides fine control over what kind of network and file access is allowed during a conversion which Scroll PDF Exporter has been able to capitalize on for enhanced security.

The key benefits of using the PDFreactor® library lie within its ability to accurately render complex layouts and designs, providing extensive customization options and offering a range of advanced options for scalability, export stability and security. Subsequently, export templates created in Scroll PDF Exporter can be applied to Confluence content ensuring that users have full control over the appearance of the PDF output. Overall, the combination of Scroll PDF Exporter and RealObjects PDFreactor® makes it easy for Atlassian Confluence users to export their pages as professionally styled PDF documents. Together they form a powerful and reliable tool for anyone looking to create high-quality PDFs from Atlassian Confluence.
