Hmm.  I'll have to try this with the ASCII backend and compare. You
think this apply to other LaTeX engines?

Hmm.  That will require some rethinking of how I set things up.

That changes things in that Visibility Off works as expected producing
the whole document (as previously with article).  However, if I (C-c C-e
C-v l p) with (C-u 4 S-Tab) (as previous), I still get the large amount
of blank lines (or blank page) after H4.3.1.2 and the PDF seems to be
produced only up to H16.1 (previously H15.1).

I was trying to take advantage of Org's outlining.  I'll have to rethink
the organization of my original files.

The issue here seems to be how the export backend and ox-latex.el
handles visibility as Visibility Off produces a good PDF.  Even setting
visibility to 3 levels instead of 4 produces a strange PDF file that is
cutoff early (even earlier than 4 levels).

Thanks for your help.
