# Capable Sites export

When a page is published to a Capable Site, the PDF is copied into the published site at build time and rendered there. Zoom, Slider page navigation and Download carry over.

## Worth knowing

* PDFs loaded from a web address pass through Capable's hosted proxy, so the file bytes transit Capable infrastructure. Attachments do not.
* Exporting a Confluence page to PDF or Word does not render the embedded PDF.
* If nothing can be resolved at site build time the published page shows a plain note that the PDF could not be exported.
* In the Capable Suite, an admin cannot hide or disable PDF Embed from the Capabilities list, because it is a macro-only capability.
