PDF Header & Footer — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using PDF Header & Footer.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The text is added entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your document never leaves your device.
Can I use a different header on the first page?
Currently the same header and footer apply to all pages. For cover-page exceptions, split the PDF first with our PDF Splitter, header just the body pages, then merge.
How does {page} and {pages} work?
These are placeholders. {page} becomes the current page number (1, 2, 3...). {pages} becomes the total page count. Combine like ‘Page {page} of {pages}’ for full numbering.
Can I add an image (like a logo) as a header?
Not currently — text only. For images, our PDF Editor supports logo placement.
Will the text overlap with my content?
Possibly, if your PDF has tight margins. The tool places header text at the top margin and footer at the bottom margin. Use the PDF Crop tool to extend margins first if needed.
