[CONFSERVER-27191] Excerpt macro rendering problems during PDF export
So this remains a non-functioning area in our current environment. Hmmm… Not a great position to be in.

added a comment - This seems to be fixed in 5.0, however we are trying to stay on 4.3 as there's not a lot of enthusiasm for the UI changes in 5.0.

added a comment - This issue does not appear in our OnDemand instance (currently on Confluence 5.0-OD-31).
However, it does occur in our downloaded Confluence instance (version 4.3.7). This is a problem us, since we use the excerpt macro frequently in our documentation, which users are likely to export as PDF.
Is there an update on a fix for this?

Is there an update on a fix for this? I'm using Confluence OnDemand. Seeing the same behaviour with info, note, tip and warning macros. This is also blocking our publication.
I generated a PDF on November 5th and this wasn't an issue. I tried to generate a PDF today, November 12, in the same space with the same style sheet and suddenly this occurs every time I generate a PDF.
Something has changed behind the scenes and broken this functionality.
This bug is a blocking issue for publication of a large reference work (~900 pages). I hope it can be fixed quickly. We have also seen Giant-text output from some other macros and pasted text as well. For example: code and pre HTML entities and the Expand Macro. Everything looks fine on Screen, but during Space Export to PDF the font-size formatting is unreliable.
This seems fixed in 5.0 and 5.1, can anyone tell me if it was fixed in an incremental release, or only these versions?
