PDF Export customization

Francesco Steccanella

Hi,

I'm trying to customize header and footer of a single page pdf export.

I'm mainly focusing on this guide: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/advanced-pdf-export-customizations/

Here is stated that changing header and footer on the single page is not directly supported and is possible only through CSS adding the "content" rule:

@page
{
@top-center
  {
    content: url('/download/attachments/xxxxxx/header.png');
  }
@bottom-center
  {
    content: url('/download/attachments/xxxxxx/footer.png');
  }
}

but this totally breaks the PDF Export: 

Looking into the community there are a lots of different topics with the same argument, but no one is working.

 

Can someone help on clarifying the functionality and it's limits?

Thanks

 

PS: also space export seems to totally ignore the header and footer definition

PPS: i would avoid external plugin

Hi Francesco, you should try it with background-image instead of content.
We configured our PDF export that way and it is working fine:

{
background-image: url("/download/attachments/xxxx/header.png");
background-size: 130px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0.47cm 1.27cm;
}

Maybe you can adapt this to your use case and see if it's working then.
