Why Use PDF Header & Footer?
Six Text Zones
Fill left, center, and right header or footer areas with independent text.
Dynamic Tokens
Use page number, total pages, date, and filename tokens in any zone.
Scoped Pages
Apply stamps to all pages, ranges, odd pages, even pages, or skip the cover.
Browser-Local
PDF bytes stay in your browser while the plan endpoint only receives settings.
Margins And Rules
Tune font size, side margins, top and bottom offsets, opacity, and separator lines.
Searchable Output
Export a PDF copy with normal text instead of rasterized page images.

How It Works

Tips
Page Number Tip
Use Page {page} of {total} for common legal, school, and business packet numbering.
Margin Check
Keep header and footer margins clear of existing text before exporting.
Keep Originals
The export is a copy, but keeping the untouched original makes later edits easier.
