How to use the add header and footer to PDF
- Choose a PDF.
- Type text for any of the six positions — left, centre or right, top or bottom. Use {n}, {total}, {date} and {file} as placeholders.
- Set font size, colour and margin, choose pages, and click Add header & footer.
Add “Page 3 of 12”, a company name, “Draft” or “Confidential”, a date or a document reference to reports, contracts, theses and scanned files. The text is added as real PDF text on top of each page — the original content is untouched. Standard PDF fonts cover English and Western European letters.
