Header & Footer tab

The Header & Footer tab appears in Advanced Edit mode, as you add or edit a header or a footer. To add a header or a footer, go to Insert > Headers and Footers, then click Header or Footer and then select Edit Header or Edit Footer.

Advanced Edit and Review modes do not share the header and footer handling but use different features.

  • Advanced Edit mode cannot edit the headers and footers created with the Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers command in Review Mode.

  • Also, in Review Mode, you cannot use the Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers commands on headers and footers created in Advanced Edit mode.

  • If you select the Finalize option when closing Advanced Edit mode, Power PDF removes the metadata related to advanced editing and converts the document to a standard PDF format. In this case, you can edit all header and footer text with the Edit > Modify > Edit text command.

Navigation group

Use the Navigation group to navigate through document sections or switch between headers or footers:

  • Go to Header: Switch to the document header.

  • Go to Footer: Switch to the document footer.

  • Previous Section: Move to the previous section in the document.

  • Next Section: Move to the next section in the document.

  • Link to Previous: Copy the header or footer from the previous section into the current section.

Options group

  • Different First Page: Click to have the first page of the section use a different header/footer setting than subsequent pages.
