Feature request: Page numbers and table of contents in PDF export

Open arsalansufi opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Context: We prepare printed manuals from our company's digital documentation in Gitbook. We use Gitbook's PDF export function to generate a PDF, manually edit that PDF to suit our needs, and then send that PDF to a printer.

We'd love if the generated PDF included page numbers and a table of contents. The inclusion of page numbers and a table of contents could be made optional as we recognize that not everyone will want these.

Happy to provide additional information on our use case!

As an extension, it would be great if hyperlinks to other doc sections could have a page number automatically added when converted to PDF, e.g.,

For more details see Section ABC (p. 24).

We recognize that this is likely technically challenging.
