About the Header & footer tool
Headers and footers give a document professional identity: a company name atop every page, a confidentiality line or numbering below. This tool adds a fixed line of text to the top and/or bottom of every PDF page, with two smart variables: {n} for the current page number and {total} for the page count — write "Page {n} of {total}" and numbering generates itself.
Add just the header, just the footer, or both, with font-size control. The text is drawn permanently into the file, showing in every reader and printer, with processing in your browser and no upload. For numbering alone without free text, the Page Numbers tool is simpler; for large diagonal text across the page, the Watermark tool.
When do you need this tool?
Corporate identity on documents

Disclaimer lines
Add "Confidential — internal use only" or a legal disclaimer to every page's footer.
Numbering with context
Stamp "Draft v2 — Page {n} of {total}" to document the version and numbering together.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add only a header without a footer?+
Yes, leave the footer field empty and only the header will be added, and vice versa.
What's the difference from the page numbers tool?+
This tool adds fully free-form text (like a company name or date), while the page numbers tool is dedicated to automatic numbering only.
