JEditor (Jira Editor) integration vs. the JEditor (Jira Editor) built-in PDF exports

You may want to ask: if JEditor (Jira Editor) has a built-in PDF export feature, why would you use another app for the same?

While the JEditor (Jira Editor) built-in PDF exports may be sufficient for basic use cases, the Better PDF Exporter integration is more powerful in, at least, these:

• It supports PDF automation.
  You can export, email and attach PDF files using Automation for Jira (visual automation rules), ScriptRunner (Groovy scripts), or the REST API (use your favorite language!).
• It is extremely customizable.
  Instead of accepting the pre-defined export types in JEditor (Jira Editor), you can define your own types via PDF templates.
• It supports all the powerful PDF features.
  You can use custom calculations in Groovy (sorting, complex math, data integration, etc.), embedded attachments, PDF bookmarks, charts, graphics (in Groovy, SVG, QR codes and barcodes, etc.), among others.
• It is integrated with all the popular Jira apps.
  You can freely combine JEditor (Jira Editor) data and other apps' data in the same PDF file.
• It comes with powerful templates optimized for JEditor (Jira Editor).
  You can use those "as is", or customize them to your needs.
• It is well-documented with the customization guide, the Expression Reference Manual, the recipes, and such.

If at least one of these is important for you, give the app a try.
