Although you can export to Microsoft Word, this portal is not optimized for Word exports. If you require an export in XML or HTML format, contact us.
In the Exporting PDF dialog box:
- In the Template box, select one of the following PDF styles:
  - Simple to export a PDF with no cover, table of contents, or index
    By default, the Simple template exports only the current page.
  - Standard to export a traditional PDF with a cover, table of contents, and index
    By default, the Standard template exports the current page and its child pages.
  In this example, selecting This page and its children creates a PDF of all topics in the space's "Reference" section:
- In the Export Scope box, select what you want to export:
  - Only this page to export the current page
  - This page and its children to export an entire section (current page and any child topics)
Click Export.
