Header & Footer

Add headers and footers to PDF pages. Right in your browser. 100% free, privacy protected.

Header & Footer adds a repeating line of text to the top or bottom of every page — a document title, a case reference, a classification marking, a revision date, a filename. Position, font, size and margins are configurable, and the text can be placed left, centre or right in each region independently. It is the standard requirement for controlled documents that must carry an identifier on every sheet. Text is drawn into the pages in your browser with no upload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put different text on the left and right?

Yes. Left, centre and right positions in the header and the footer are set independently, so a title on the left and a date on the right is straightforward.

Can I include page numbers here?

For a numbering sequence with start offsets and formats, use Page Numbers — it is built for that. Headers and footers are for fixed repeating text.

Can I apply it to only some pages?

Yes. Restrict it to a page range so front matter or appendices can be excluded.

Will it overlap existing content?

It can if the pages already have very tight margins. Adjust the margin setting so the text sits clear of the body content.
