What is PDF Header & Footer?
PDF Header & Footer is a free online tool that adds custom text to the top and bottom of every page in your PDF.
Use template variables like {page}, {pages}, {date}, and {time} to insert dynamic content. Choose left, center, or right alignment for each section, set the font size, and optionally skip the first page (for title pages). Perfect for adding page numbers, dates, company names, or confidentiality notices. Runs entirely in your browser.
