Frequently Asked Questions
What variables can I use?
{page} inserts the current page number, {pages} inserts the total page count, {date} inserts today's date, and {filename} inserts the PDF filename. You can combine them freely, e.g. 'Page {page} of {pages}'.
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Enable the 'Skip first page' option to leave the first page without headers/footers - useful for title pages or cover sheets.
Is this processed on your servers?
No. Headers and footers are added entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
What font is used?
Headers and footers use Helvetica, a universally readable font. You can adjust the size from 6 to 18 points.
