            Closing as won't fix since the old PDF export is now deprecated in favor or the more recent client-side PDF export, see https://forum.xwiki.org/t/deprecate-old-pdf-export-and-retire-it/13520. Thus, all issues except blocker issues are going to be closed as won't fix. Ofc, if anyone wants to fix this issue, they're free to go ahead and we'll reopen the issue.

            With the client-side PDF export the Gallery macro is exported as is in view mode, which means you get to see only the first image.

            This has been fixed by XWIKI-20458. So the client-side PDF export is not affected by this issue.

            With the client-side PDF export the Gallery macro is exported as is in view mode, which means you get to see only the first image. We could modify the Gallery macro to generate a different output when the page is exported to PDF (i.e. show all images) so that we get all images in the generated PDF, but we need to decide if we want this or not. Note that if I remove the gallery macro wrapping and leave only the images the client-side PDF export looks good so it's not affected by XWIKI-7490.

            Looks like it's a FOP issue with the scale of the pictures in the generated PDF. The XML created to be exported looks good, but I don't know well the options for FOP, it needs more investigations.
