PDF export section numbering
Asked by Guenter Huber:

We pretty much use Confluence s (5.1.3) standard PDF export.

The "interesting" thing with this "advanced" version is that it even doesn t get the TOC numbering right. The TOC page numbers are left aligned (!) and get cut off after the third digit with the standard margins! I solved this, but I needed to air it. Actually thought that would be a bug fix for a revision, but apparently it s been in the product for ages.

My question is about the half-baked section numbers. They appear in the TOC, but not in the body!

How can I get them in the body?  
Thanks  
G.

1) The page numbers in the TOC are right-aligned by

```
div.toc  {      text-align:right;  }
```

in the PDF Export Stylesheet either globally or in the space.

2) You can get rid of the silly heading numbering in the TOC of a PDF space export with

```
div.toclvl0:before { content:  ""; }  div.toclvl1:before { content:  ""; }  div.toclvl2:before { content:  ""; }  div.toclvl3:before { content:  ""; }  div.toclvl4:before { content:  ""; }  div.toclvl5:before { content:  ""; }
```

in the same style sheet.  
Please mind that the indentation stays, but I d rather call this a feature than the inconsistent behavior of Confluence!

**Cudos to Tomas Theunissen of avisi with their Heading Numbering plugin who solved this in minutes once I had explained the problem and what I really wanted! Atlassian had not been able to bring up a solution for 3.5 YEARS!**

author: Guenter Huber
body: I can t find it on my installation. Could it be that this is for reference only if I want to override settings in the PDF Export Stylesheet -- with the actual definition hidden somewhere in Confluence s DB in a BLOB field?

Thanks again!

But that is all I know, no idea where to find it on your own installation etc.

body: And do you know where confluencedefaultpdf.css is located?  
Thx


author: Guenter Huber
body: Thanks, Steffen,  
difficult to find the needle with the wrong-colored pin-head / title (PDF Stylesheet - any guides out there?) in the hay stack!  
I ll cross-link things with the issues.

BTW: I ve seen confluencedefaultpdf.css referenced a number of times. I can t find it!

body: True, I could also only find it because it is in the list of my own answers.
