About Add Header & Footer to PDF

Add Header & Footer to PDF stamps a line of text at the top and/or bottom of every page — a company name, a document title, a date or a confidentiality notice. Type the text and it appears live on the page previews before anything is applied.

Header and footer are configured independently: each has its own text, size, position (left, center or right) and margin from the page edge. Either one is optional, so you can add only a footer or only a header. The text is stamped in light grey so it labels the page without shouting over the content.

The stamping happens on the server and becomes part of the PDF, which makes it ideal for preparing documents for distribution — every recipient sees the same header and footer in any reader or printout.

How to use Add Header & Footer to PDF

  1. Drag and drop the PDF you want to label.
  2. Type the header text, the footer text, or both — each is optional.
  3. Set the size, alignment (left, center, right) and margin for each line.
  4. Check the live preview on the page thumbnails.
  5. Click “Add header & footer” — the stamped PDF downloads automatically.
