Table of contents links do not work in exported PDF

I have a table of contents in my Confluence page, created by typing 

/table

and then selecting 'Tables of Contents' from the drop down menu. 

When I export my page to PDF (by hitting the ... elipsis and export to PDF), the table of contents (toc) exports successfully (contrary to my previous issue raised here where it didn't export at all), but the links in the toc in the exported PDF take me to wrong places within the PDF. 

They take me to the right places in the Confluence page. 

This is so frustrating, I'm supposed to send this PDF out to customers but this is a very bad experience for anyone viewing the PDFs. Not very professional at all. 

(as per my other issue raised, downloading and installing a 3rd party paid app just to export tables of contents is not acceptable. I cannot get sign off for this kind of expense in my work, and its a terrible workaround).

For anyone following, I have raised this with Atlassian who have determined that it is a bug.

A ticket has been raised here:

[CONFCLOUD-79020] Anchor links in Table of Contents macro fail to navigate to the correct headings on PDF export - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products. 

Grateful if anyone else is affected that they log in and click the 'This affects my team' link at top right. 

Thanks :-)
