Hi,

Instead of displaying the title of the page where I start the export in the footer of every PDF page using $page.title placeholder, I want to display the H1 "Chapter" titles in the footer of every page. For example. say I have the following page structure:

[Root page where I export from]

- Chapter 1

- - Child 1.1

- - Child 1.2

- Chapter 2

- - Child 2.1

- - Child 2.2

I want to display Chapter 1 page title in the footer of Chapter 1, Child 1.1, and Child 1.2 pages; display Chapter 2 page title in the footer of Chapter 2, Child 2.1, and Child 2.2 pages.

Is it possible to achieve this in my template?

Thank you,

Roy

  Hi Nils,

  I found the following page on the Internet: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/01/designing-for-print-with-css/#setting-strings

  It seems like a perfect solution to this issue, but I cannot make it work. Could you have a look and tell me if it can work with Scroll PDF Exporter plugin? 

  Thank you,

  Roy

  Hi Roy,

  Unfortunately "string-set" ist not yet supported by the PDF library the Scroll PDF Exporter is currently using. 

  Cheers,
  Peter
