Can I distinguish between different levels of pages from the LH menu when they are on a PDF page?

Question

Hi all, We recently upgraded to Confluence Server 6.13 and see that how Page Titles and Headings are treated for PDF export has changed (see CONFSERVER-16557). The way my pages are set up, I need different headings for the different levels in my LH menu. However looking at the HTML code, I see no way to distinguish between the different levels now... they all have the same structure:

Risk Management - RM - 8.8 : Enablon Risk Management Overview (User)

So before 6.13 I had: And now I have: My workaround is to modify the top level pages by adding the other pages as includes. Can I avoid having to restructure my content? Thanks, Rosalind

Hello, I have same issue as Rosalind.. I found another friend in here. I also need workaround to set different heading level by page tree structure.

Hello Rosalind,

Thank you for testing this and bringing back your results, this is very much appreciated.

The way the headers have a structure within a PDF export is as follows:

* H1 = Page title
* H2 = H1 Header within a page
* H3 = H2 Header within a page
* And so on.

Within your page tree (LH menu), the pages are sorted by hierarchical order. The headers on the export are managed by the above logic. So while you will have pages within the PDF with the same header levels, they will not be presented the same within the page tree on the left side.

The documentation was 6.14; it still applies to 6.13. There is no need to upgrade in this case (You’re welcome to upgrade if you wanted to).

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

Hi again Stephen,

Thanks for the CSS. I ran a test with it to illustrate my problem on a page, the "Présentation..." and "Introduction..." headers are the same size, although at different levels of the hierarchy in the bookmarks (I would expect to have "Introduction..." a level below "Présentation..." as in the bookmarks and LH menu in Confluence):

The link that you sent goes to the 6.14 documentation. Has the behavior for headings changed again?

Is it worth us installing a test 6.14 version on our dev site?

Thanks, Rosalind
