How to retrieve space and page name in PDF export css?

Question

Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure the PDF export of my confluence.

I want to write the space name and the page name at the bottom of the page export.

I am able to write the page number with the "count(page) / count(pages)" method, but I cannot find anything on how to get page and space data like space name and page name.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational- and thank you for your answer.

I've seen this documentation but I fear I did not truly understand it.

Does that mean that " @page title" gives me the title of the page? If so, does "@space title" does the same for the space?

Thanks in advance if you have the answer.

I understood that atlassian does not supply a complete documentation for this feature, thus we switched to Scroll PDF Exporter which does the job easily.

Hi @Alexandre Meyer and welcome to the community!

Take a look at this https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-exports-to-pdf/

You will find a template css which includes the following:

@page 
{
    margin: 0.5in;
    padding: 1em;
@top-left
    {
        content: element(header);
    }
@bottom-left 
    {
        content: element(footer);
    }
}

@page title
{
    margin: 0.5in;
    padding: 1em;

@top-left
    {        
    }
@bottom-left 
    {        
    }
}

a
{
    text-decoration:none;
}

div.titlepage,div.toc
{
    page:title;    
}
