Just installed the most recent version of composition-plugin and utilities-plugin for Confluence 1.4. It has a problem which also existed in the old plugin (where only the float-macro existed): The following source: {float:side=left|width=20%} Test{float} will cause an exception when PDF generation is activated: Cause: com.atlassian.confluence.importexport.ImportExportException: Error while generating PDF!
