Use Case

PDF generation for project managers

Project managers live across Confluence, Jira, GitHub, and a dozen other tools. Stakeholder updates need to look professional. Sprint documentation needs to be archived. Handoff documents need consistent formatting. Pretty PDF turns content from any project tool into polished, consistent PDFs — with dedicated parsers for the platforms PMs use most.

Team tier available. Free tier: 3 PDFs/month.

Use Case

How project managers use Pretty PDF

From sprint archives to stakeholder decks, Pretty PDF fits into the workflows PMs already run.

Sprint Documentation

Archive sprint retrospectives, planning docs, and burndown data from Confluence as professionally formatted PDFs. Build a searchable history of every sprint without relying on live page access.

Stakeholder Reports

Save project dashboards and status pages as branded PDFs for executive review. The Corporate template ensures every report looks polished and consistent, regardless of the source tool.

Issue Tracking

Convert Jira issues and GitHub issues to PDF for offline review or formal documentation. Issue details, descriptions, labels, and metadata are captured cleanly without sidebar controls or navigation chrome.

Meeting Notes

Save Confluence meeting notes or Google Docs as clean PDFs for distribution. Attendees get a polished document instead of a link that requires login access or the right permissions to view.

Project Handoffs

Compile project documentation into professionally formatted PDFs for team transitions. Consistent formatting across all handoff documents ensures nothing looks ad hoc or thrown together at the last minute.

Platform support

Dedicated parsers for the tools PMs use

These platforms get extra-smart extraction with custom-built parsers. Every other project tool works through the generic engine.

Confluence GitHub Notion

Confluence, GitHub, and Notion each have dedicated parsers built into Pretty PDF. These parsers understand the structure of each platform and extract content with full fidelity.

The Confluence parser expands expand macros so hidden content is included in the PDF. Code macros are rendered with proper monospace formatting. Tables, info panels, status macros, and nested page structures are all preserved. For project managers who live in Confluence, this means sprint retrospectives, project plans, and technical specs come out looking exactly as intended.

The GitHub parser captures issues with their labels, descriptions, and metadata intact. Code blocks are styled with JetBrains Mono. Pull request summaries, README files, and discussions are all supported. When you need to include a GitHub issue in a project report or archive a milestone's worth of issues, the output is clean and professional.

The Notion parser opens toggles and captures the full page structure, including databases, callouts, and nested content. Project boards and documentation pages in Notion convert to well-formatted PDFs without the Notion UI chrome.

Other project management tools — Jira, Asana, Monday.com, Linear, Basecamp, ClickUp — work through the generic extraction engine. This engine uses trafilatura-based content detection to identify and extract the main content from any webpage. The result is a clean PDF of the page's primary content, without site-specific optimizations but reliably capturing what matters.

Consistent formatting across your entire PM team

The Corporate template is purpose-built for business-facing documents. It uses clean typography, structured headings, and a professional layout that works for everything from sprint reports to executive summaries. When every PM on the team uses the same template, project deliverables have a unified look — no more questions about which font someone used or why one report looks different from another.

On Team plans, branded templates let you add your company logo to every PDF. Stakeholder-facing documents carry your organization's visual identity automatically. There is no manual formatting step, no copying logos into documents, and no risk of someone using last quarter's branding.

This consistency matters most during project handoffs, audits, and executive reviews. When every document in a project archive follows the same formatting conventions, the archive looks intentional and professional. When documents are a mix of browser prints, copy-pasted screenshots, and markdown exports, they look like an afterthought.

Team tier means every PM produces consistently formatted documents. No more "which font did you use" or mismatched formatting in project deliverables.

Four steps

From project page to professional PDF

The same workflow works across every project tool your team uses.

1

Open your project page

Navigate to the page you need — a Confluence space, GitHub issue, Jira ticket, Notion doc, or any other project tool in your browser.

2

Click Pretty PDF with Corporate template

Click the extension icon and select the Corporate template for a professional, business-ready appearance. Pretty PDF detects the platform and activates the right parser automatically.

3

Professional PDF generated

The server extracts the content, strips navigation and UI chrome, applies your template with embedded fonts, and returns a polished PDF in seconds.

4

Share with stakeholders or archive

Download the PDF, attach it to an email, drop it in a shared drive, or let it live in your Pretty PDF document library for the team to reference later.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Confluence has a dedicated parser that expands macros, preserves code blocks, and extracts page content without the sidebar or navigation. Jira pages are handled through the generic extraction engine, which captures issue details, descriptions, and comments in a clean format suitable for PDF output.
Yes. The Corporate template is designed for business-facing documents and provides a professional appearance suitable for executive review. On Team and Pro+ plans, you can use branded templates with your company logo, ensuring every PDF your team produces is consistent with your organization's visual identity.
Yes. Pretty PDF's Confluence parser uses the Chrome extension's live DOM access to expand all expand macros before capture, so hidden content is included in the PDF. Code macros are rendered with JetBrains Mono for clean monospace formatting. Tables, info panels, and status macros are also preserved.
Yes. Every generated PDF is saved to your document library, accessible from the Pretty PDF dashboard. On Team plans, team members share a common library, making it easy to find and reference previously generated project documents without regenerating them.
Pretty PDF works with any webpage through its generic extraction engine, which uses trafilatura-based content detection to identify and extract the main content from any page. Tools like Jira, Asana, Monday.com, and Linear all produce clean PDFs through this engine. The result may not include site-specific optimizations, but the core content is captured reliably.
