The Scroll Wiki PDF Exporter by K15t does offer the ability to do what you've described (via page layouts, not CSS), and more besides. Yes, it's a commercial plugin, but the functionality it offers is great, as is the technical support.

Thanks for the recommendation, going to Jira seem to cost us a fortune. any functionality we like requires a commercial plugin.

Hello Brian,

There is no combination of CSS that is going to allow this information to be displayed on the page. I dida sample export of a test space and saw for my export the fields that you are looking for are simply not included. CSS is used from styling elemets on a page. That it to say putting them where you want them and making them pretty.

From the documentation we see that Confluence can only render out html and css elements from the Confluence Admin > PDF Layout page. There is currently no way to add velocity (dynamically generate) elements to these page exports.

This is tracked in our community bug tracker below.

Please let us know if there is anything we can further clarify.
