export as pdf with nested numbered lists

[Deleted user]

Confluence V6.6.1 on Linux (also on V6.1.3)

We have a page with nested lists with the following structure:

1. item 1
2. item 2
   a. item 2.a
   b. item 2.b
3. item 3

When we export this page through the space tool / contents / export to PDF, the result is:

1. item 1
2. item 2
   1. item 2.a
   2. item 2.b
3. item 3

i.e. the level a, b has been changed in PDF to 1, 2.

We know that this works with the Scroll ExportPDF plugin, but this plugin has other defects which prevent us from using it.

Hi Jean,

I've just tried your scenario on my Confluence 6.6.0 - unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem. My exported pdf looks like this:

How do you create the item "a. item 2.a"? With a tab to the right?

Hi Thomas,

the 2.a was created by clicking on the indent icon in the formatting bar of the editor. And yes, we also have/had versions where it worked correctly. But unfortunately it doesn't in the current version.

[Thomas Schlegel]

does the storage format of your page looks like this:

<ol>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2
<ol>
<li>item 2a</li>
<li>item 2b</li></ol></li>
<li>item 3</li></ol>

Yes.

Hmm, then my last idea is, do you have some modifications in your pdf stylesheets? 

If not, please contact Atlassian support (support.atlassian.com). Maybe there's a bug that affects your system.

We have tried it now with a new space, without pdf stylesheets, and the error is still there.

It worked in 6.2.1, it didn't work in 6.1.3 and 6.6.1.

So I'll contact Atlassian support. Thank you.
