Confluence export to PDF

Question

Hello there,

I have defined some rules on Confluence PDF export stylesheet to customize some properties of documents. One of them is that the first page of content is defined as a cover, with a custom background color.

By default, if I export to PDF documents containing divs with custom background color, Confluence adds some margin and padding to it. To solve this, I've defined the following rules in PDF export stylesheet:

@page:first{

size: 210mm 297mm;

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

}

But for some reason, if I use these rules, the content in other pages get cut, making large paragraphs, tables, images , etc not completely visible, even being these properties set to only the first page of content.

Is there some kind of solution to this question? Or is this a bug of the PDF export module?

Kind regards,

Jesús
