Headers & footers in PDF files
The headers & footers tool lets you can quickly insert text and graphics across one or more pages in a document, and place this new content in front of or behind existing page content. Best of all, by saving your settings as profiles, you can reuse them over and over. Here's some examples of how you might like to use the headers and footers functionality:
- Dynamic stamps. Automatically insert dynamic information like page numbers, author, document title, date and time.
- Headers. Insert document title, chapters and date information.
- Footers. Insert page numbering, date, and time information.
To insert a header and footer:
- On the Insert and Edit tab, in the Header & Footer group, click the Header & Footer
text label.
- In the Apply to document list, click the profile to use.
Note: If you are inserting text-based headers or footer, they may not display the same way if the recipient doesn't have them installed on their system. If you are unsure about what fonts your recipients use, it's best to use system fonts like Times New Roman, Times, Courier, Helvetica and Symbol.
