Users would like to capture all warnings/errors logged during a PDF export, especially the logs produced by Groovy scripts to help the debugging process.
A screen for the Execution history (as in Adaptavist Scriptrunner) or a backported View Log screen from the Cloud version would be beneficial.
There is this general-purpose Jira app that displays you all the Jira log entries: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211604/last-log-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter
I'm not seeing why it couldn't be used to view the log entries produced by the Groovy scripts executed by the PDF renderer.
While the above link to the Last Log for Jira add-in is useful (i.e. far superior that manually getting the log files), having the logged errors that are exclusive to Better PDF Exporter appear on a View Log screen would be simpler.
However, an even more user-friendly solution would be if the logged errors showed up on the automatically-generated PDF (that shows the stack trace) - that would be an even bigger time saver.
