Can I include automatic page numbers in the header or footer?

Yes, use the page number placeholder and it fills in the correct number on every page automatically.

Can the header and footer text be different on each page?

The same text template applies to every page, with placeholders like the page number substituted per page — it's not designed for page-by-page custom text.

Will it overwrite existing content near the top or bottom of my pages?

It's added in the page margins, so it shouldn't overlap normal body content as long as your document has standard margins.

Does PDF Header/Footer Adder upload my files to a server?

No. PDF Header/Footer Adder runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Multi-page documents — reports, manuals, legal filings — are much easier to navigate and reference when every page carries consistent context: a document title, a date, a page label, a company name. Adding that by hand to each page isn't practical once a document runs more than a few pages long. This tool stamps custom header and footer text across every page of a PDF in one pass, with placeholders for things like page numbers so the text stays accurate even as pages are added or removed later.
