This article is meant to help you creating page to page embedded links with page numbers for PDF export.

Step-by-step guide

I use the following page hierarchy:

You can find all related documentation in the button of this page.

Pre-requisites

Administrators only!

Please note that you have to have administrator rights in order to carry out the below steps.

Create or modify a Custom stylesheet using the following CSS code:

a.embedded-page-link::after{
    content: "("target-counter(attr(href), page, decimal)")";
}

Create a user macro with the following settings:

Create link

I would like to create a link on the "Embedded link Home" page what links a table at "Another page in the export" page. I need to do the following steps:

Edit "Another page in the export" and add an anchor tag next to the table:
Edit "Embedded link Home" and insert the user macro here:

Add a link to the editable field with the page name and with the Anchor name:
Link: <Page name>#<AnchorName>
Link text: Any text what you want to see on the page

The final result:

Print settings with Content Exporter

Go to your first exportable page (in my case this is "Embedded link Home")
In the page menu → Export to PDF
Customize for this export
Stylesheet (CSS) → Edit
Select your custom stylesheet what you created during the preparing.
Save your settings with clicking on Apply
Select content as you desired (I selected the "Current page with all child pages" option).
Export

Change result

Change the text on your confluence page:
Change the Linked text in the User macro's editable field.

Change the exported text in the PDF:
Actually the export result is: (<page number>)
To change this you need to change your Custom css style. Here are some example how can you do that:

a.embedded-page-link-see::after{
    content: "See on page: " target-counter(attr(href), page, decimal);
}

a.embedded-page-link-check::after{
    content: "Check " target-counter(attr(href), page, decimal) " page.";
}
