Header & Footer

Header & Footer adds custom text to the top and/or bottom of every page in your PDF. Include dates, document titles, confidentiality notices, or any repeated text. Font, size, color, and margins are all customizable to match your document's style. Header & Footer sits in FilePilot's pdf tools collection, so it is easy to move between this task and nearby tools such as Free Online PDF Tools, Free Online Image Tools, Merge PDFs. It is useful when you need to add a "confidential" header to every page of a sensitive document; include the document title and date in the footer of a report; add company name or project title to all pages of a proposal; insert legal disclaimers in the footer of terms and conditions. The workflow is straightforward: upload the pdf you want to modify; enter text for the header and/or footer, and configure styling options; click "apply & download" to save the pdf with headers and footers. The work happens locally in your browser using client-side processing, which keeps your files on your device and gives crawlers a clear plain-text description of what this page does before the interactive app loads.

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF you want to modify.
  2. Enter text for the header and/or footer, and configure styling options.
  3. Click "Apply & Download" to save the PDF with headers and footers.
