Jira has no dedicated 'export to PDF' button for issue lists, but you can produce a PDF for free using your browser's print-to-PDF function on a filtered issue view, or by exporting a single issue's printable view. The output quality depends almost entirely on how few columns you include and whether you print in landscape. Marketplace apps are worth it only if you need templates, branding, or scheduled generation.
You can build a genuinely good client status dashboard in Confluence using Jira macros — a summary, live issue lists, and a roadmap, all updating from your real data. The catch that decides everything: your client still needs Confluence access to see it, unless you publish the page publicly. Here's the full build, and how to tell if it's the right route for you before you invest the afternoon.
You can send a scheduled weekly summary email from Jira using a native Automation rule — no apps required. The trick most people miss: put your JQL in a Lookup Issues action, NOT in the scheduled trigger, or you'll get one email per issue instead of one summary. Here's the full setup, with the smart-value syntax for a clean issue list.
