This article explains how to add or remove headers and footers in a PDF, whether inserting text or uploading a file.
Adding a header/footer
- Open the Edit Module.
- Choose Header and Footer.
A window will open, providing you with options to configure your header/footer.
On the left-hand side of the window is a previewer.
- You can cycle between the different pages of your document to preview what it will look like on any page.
- The position will let you choose where your header or footer should be located. Each position can be customized separately. Click on a different position to configure it, this will not impact any positions you have already set up.
You can choose to create a text-based header/footer.
- Select Text as Source.
- Enter your text into the box.
- You can also choose the font style, size, and color, and choose to bold or italicize your text.
- In the Pages to Apply section, you can determine which pages you want the header/footer to appear on.
- In the Margins section, you can set up the area for your header and footer. Since they are on the exterior of the margin area, you can create more or less space for your header or footer by adjusting the margin size.
- When you are ready to add your header/footer, click APPLY.
You can choose to upload any file to use as a header/footer.
- Choose File as Source.
- Click on the Browse.
- A Browse Window will open. Choose the image from your computer that you would like to use.
- Adjust the Scale of the image to make sure it fits.
- You have the option to Shrink the document to avoid overwriting the document’s text and graphics.
- Click MAKE DEFAULT to use these settings moving forward. You can reset the default at any time.
- To add a header/footer to multiple documents, click Multiple Files to use the Batch Header and Footer feature.
Removing a header/footer
- Open the Edit Module.
- Select the Remove Page Marks option.
- Choose Remove Header and Footer.
- Decide which page range should have the header/footer removed.
