Obsidian Pagebreaks

Create pagebreaks in exported Obsidian PDFs.
Example:
# Heading 1
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type
## Heading 2 (pagebreak before this)
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type

The page break CSS here still works with my current Obsidian version 1.7.6. Incredible work, and thanks for the effort.

The only issue I am having is (I am new to CSS scripting), when I change the first block from:

  h2 {
    page-break-before: always;
  }

to

:not(h1) + h2 {
    page-break-before: always;
}

The CSS snippet stops working.
