FAQ

Questions about Add Header & Footer

Can I add the date and file name automatically?+

Yes. Use {date}, {file}, {n} and {total} in any of the six slots and they are filled in for every page.

Can I have different left, centre and right text?+

Yes. There are three slots in the header and three in the footer, plus an optional divider line.

Will it overlap existing content?+

Set the margin so the text sits inside the page's empty edge. The live preview shows the exact placement.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?+

No. Everything runs in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
