Questions
Add Headers and Footers FAQs
Is header text stored as PDF metadata?
No. It is visible page content. Use View Metadata or Remove Metadata for document properties.
Can the header differ on page 1?
This tool applies the same header and footer to the pages you process. Per-page exceptions are not included.
Will this replace page numbers?
It can overlap numbers if both sit in the same corner. Place headers away from numbering or run one tool at a time.
