Frequently asked questions
What can I put in a header or footer?
Any text, such as a company name, a document title, “Confidential” or a date, on the left, in the middle or on the right. Use {page} for the page number, {pages} for the number of pages, {date} for today's date and {file} for the file name.
Can I leave the cover page without a header?
Yes. Tick “Not on the first page” and the first page stays as it is.
Will it cover my content?
It's placed in the margin, as far from the edge as you choose. If your pages have little margin, make the distance smaller or the text smaller.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The text is added in your browser.
