Add Header and Footer to PDF: practical guide
Add repeated header or footer text
Headers and footers are useful for document titles, company names, confidentiality notices, dates, references, file identifiers, and other information that should repeat across pages.
Useful for professional documents
Use them in reports, proposals, manuals, internal documents, contracts, and archived records that benefit from consistent page labeling.
Header and footer vs page numbers
Use this tool when you need repeated text. If you only need numbering, Add Page Numbers may be simpler.
Keep margins readable
Avoid placing repeated content too close to existing page text or outside printable margins.
Finish the document workflow
After adding headers or footers, you can use Compress PDF or Protect PDF before distribution.
