Add a header or footer to a PDF
Six independent slots — left, centre and right, along the top and the bottom — each taking plain text or a token that fills itself in. Set them once and every page in the range gets the same treatment.
Tokens fill themselves in: {n} page number, {total} page count, {date}, {time} and {filename}. Leave a slot blank to skip it.
The document is read on your device; nothing is uploaded.
Leave the rest blank. A common setup is the document title top-left, the date top-right and Page {n} of {total} bottom-centre.
{n} is the page number, {total} the count, {date} and {time} today's, and {filename} the name of the file you opened.
Choose the font, size, colour and margin, pick a page range, then download.
Word processors keep headers as a document property that has to be re-rendered. Here the text becomes ordinary page content, which is why it survives being merged, split, printed or opened in a reader that has never heard of headers.
If you number pages 5 onwards, {total} is the number of pages actually being labelled. That keeps Page 1 of 20 from appearing on a document where only twenty of twenty-four pages carry a header.
Documents that get bound lose 15mm or so into the gutter. Set the margin to clear it, rather than discovering the problem after the print run.
