PDF Header Footer

Updated 2026-09-13 · DocsAll Guides

Quick answer: Stamp headers and footers — page numbers, dates, document titles — onto every page. Open PDF 添加页眉页脚 — everything runs locally in your browser, and files never leave your device.

Steps

  1. Upload the PDF to the Header & Footer tool.
  2. Pick a position (top/bottom, left/center/right) and content — text or page-number variables.
  3. Set font size and margins; restrict to a page range if needed.
  4. Download.

Important notes

  • Numbering starts at 1 — set the range to start at page 2 to skip a cover.
  • Existing printed footers will overlap; replace or mask them first.
  • Preview CJK footers — unsupported glyphs fall back to boxes.

Common questions

Can it print "Page X of Y"? Yes, insert the total-pages variable in the format editor.

Can I remove someone else's footer? Only if it is a separate text object; text fused with body content cannot be isolated.

Pro tips

Placement conflicts are the main failure mode: the tool stamps your footer wherever you position it, including on top of existing footer text already baked into the pages. Scan the document first — if page numbers already exist, either skip them (start your range after those pages) or place yours in a different corner. For professional documents, match the body font size or one point smaller and keep bottom margins above 12mm so printers do not clip the footer. Range settings exist precisely for front matter: start numbering at page 3 with the cover and TOC excluded.

Can the footer say "DRAFT" on every page? Yes — the watermark tool is designed for diagonal stamps, but a small corner text via header/footer works when you want subtlety.
