Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a page number to the footer?
Type {page} in any footer or header zone. It will be replaced with the actual page number on each page. Use {total} to show the total number of pages.
Can I add a header to only some pages?
Currently headers and footers are applied to all pages. For partial application, split the PDF first, add headers to specific parts, then merge them back.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
What font is used?
Headers and footers are rendered in Helvetica (a standard PDF font) at the size you select.
Can I add headers to a password-protected PDF?
No. Encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked before they can be modified.
