You can add various elements to your PDF headers and footers: company names or websites for branding, page numbers (including formats like "Page X of Y"), current dates or custom timestamps, Bates numbering for legal documents, and any custom text you need. All these elements can be positioned at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of your pages with left, center, or right alignment.

We take security seriously. All file transfers are protected with TLS encryption, and we never store your documents permanently.
