About This PDF Header & Footer Tool
This tool lets you add professional headers and footers to your PDF documents directly in your browser. You can add custom text, page numbers, dates, and company information to the left, center, or right positions of the header and footer areas. Dynamic variables like {page}, {total}, and {date} are automatically replaced with the actual values. You can control exactly which pages get the content using page range expressions (e.g., 1-5, 8, 10-12) or skip the first page entirely. All processing is client-side — your files never leave your device.
How to Add Headers and Footers to PDF — Step by Step
Adding headers and footers to your PDF is simple with our tool. Follow these steps:
Upload Your PDF
Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF file. The tool works with any standard PDF document.
Enter Your Content
Type your custom text into the header and/or footer fields (left, center, right). Use the Quick Insert buttons to add {page}, {total}, and {date} variables.
Configure Style and Range
Adjust the font size, margin distance, and text color. Set which pages to apply the content to using the page range field or skip first page option.
Generate and Download
Click Add Header & Footer to apply the changes. Your PDF will be generated and downloaded automatically with headers and footers embedded.
Important Notes
Headers and footers are drawn directly onto the PDF pages using standard embedded fonts. The {page} variable shows the physical page number, {total} shows the total number of pages, and {date} shows the current date at generation time. The preview shows an approximation of the final result. When using page ranges, separated pages not in the range will not have headers or footers. All processing is client-side — your files never leave your device.
