Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include the page number in the text?
Yes — put {n} anywhere in the header or footer for the current page number, and {total} for the last page, e.g. "Page {n} of {total}".
How is this different from Add Page Numbers?
Page Numbers places just a number in a corner. Header and Footer adds free text at the top and bottom — a title, a date, a case name — with the number optional.
Does it draw over existing content near the edges?
The text sits in the top and bottom margins. On a PDF with no margin there, it can overlap — check the result and adjust if needed.
