What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
The text you supply is drawn into the header or footer area of each selected page as ordinary page content, with the alignment and font size you choose. It is set with fonts that cover non-Latin scripts, so Turkish, Vietnamese and Arabic text come out correctly, and on a page stored sideways it runs along the edge a reader sees as the top or bottom. Existing content is not moved.
Where it stops: Text is drawn on top rather than reflowing the page, so on documents with no margin it can overlap. Add margins first if your pages run to the edge.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
Can I apply it to only some pages?
Yes. Set a page range, which is the usual approach when a cover page should stay clean.
What if the text overlaps my content?
The header is drawn on top rather than pushing content down. If your pages have no margin, run Add Margins to PDF first to create clear space.
Can I include automatic page numbers?
Use Add Page Numbers for sequential numbering, or Bates Number PDF when you need a prefix and padded sequence.
You might also need.
Add customizable page numbers to PDFs with position, prefix, start number, font size and selected-page controls.
Apply sequential Bates identifiers to every page with custom prefix, suffix, start value, padding and position.
Increase page canvas size around PDF pages and add configurable white margins without scaling page content unnecessarily.
Add custom text or image watermarks to PDF documents. Control opacity, rotation, size and page placement.
