How to Add a Header or Footer in a PDF

The Edit PDF feature in PDFelement for adding a header or footer allows users to enhance their PDF documents by inserting customizable text or images at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of every page or selected page ranges.

This feature is valuable for adding consistent information such as page numbers, document titles, author names, dates, or company logos, which improves the professional appearance and organization of the document. Here is how you can use this utility to add and manage headers and footers within this comprehensive tool:

Step 1

To begin the process, launch PDFelement on your Windows and add your document. Next, enable the “Edit” section from the left and press the “Header and Footer” option from the toolbar at the top. Now press the “Add Header” option from the expanded list.
