Headers and Footers

You can add textual information to appear along the top or bottom of your PDF pages in one or more PDF documents. Text for the top area is a header, for the bottom area it is a footer. The text can be left- or right-aligned or centered; it appears in a font, size, style and color you can define. A page range can be applied to exclude the header or footer from certain pages. Text can be user-defined or pre-defined, such as a page number, date, author, title etc.

To place headers and/or footers:

headers and footers icon

Click Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers, and then choose Add, Update, or Remove headers and/or footers from the drop-down menu:

Tip: Headers and footers can be edited freely in Advanced Edit mode. For details see Headers & Footers Ribbon.

Notes

If you want to save your settings to a reusable scheme, you must click Create before clicking OK or Apply to Multiple.

The program may not be able to recognize and manage headers and footers generated by other applications.  

Headers and footers are text type objects, so they can be used, fully or partly, as attributes in operations such as Find, Compare, Split, etc.

With Power PDF Advanced, a Bates Number can also be added by an Add Header and Footer operation if saved in a Scheme. When this dialog box is accessed from a Bates Numbering command, a Bates Number becomes the default macro. A header/footer with a Bates number can be neither updated nor  removed; it can be altered only via the Bates Numbering controls.
