How Add Header and Footer to PDF Works

Professional reports, company manuals, and legal case files often require consistent identifying text along the top and bottom margins of every page. With our header and footer tool, you can configure left, center, and right margin text, insert dynamic date or filename variables, and apply sequential Bates numbering (such as CASE-0001, CASE-0002) for legal discovery and compliance archives. You can also adjust font sizes and margins so stamps never overlap existing body text. All stamping happens locally in your browser without sending sensitive legal or corporate records to a server.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Add Header and Footer to PDF FAQs

What is Bates numbering and how does it work?

Bates numbering stamps a unique, auto-incrementing reference code (like EXHIBIT-0001, EXHIBIT-0002) onto every page so legal and compliance teams can index pages unambiguously.

Are headers and footers applied to every page at once?

Yes. Your chosen header and footer template is stamped consistently across the entire document in a single pass.

Is it safe to use this tool for confidential legal discovery documents?

Yes. All Bates stamping and header rendering occurs strictly in your local browser memory without any cloud upload.
