Add, Replace, or Remove text securely across multiple margins and slots.
Whether you're preparing corporate reports, academic papers, or official legal documents, standardized headers and footers add a necessary layer of professionalism. PDF Toolkit's free Add Header & Footer tool provides an advanced, highly customizable engine for stamping text onto your PDF margins. You have distinct control over six separate slots (Target top/bottom and left/center/right). You can insert static text like your company name, or use dynamic placeholders to auto-populate the current date, file name, page numbers, and total page count natively. The tool allows you to specify precise text color, sizing, margin offsets, and apply the formatting to specific page ranges. Best of all, all configuration and stamping occurs 100% locally in your web browser. Your private documents are never sent across the internet.
Upload the PDF document that needs formatting.
Select your mode: Add (new margins), Replace (removes old margins before adding), or Remove (strips existing headers/footers).
Fill out the header and footer slots. Use placeholders like {page} or {date} for dynamic text.
Adjust font size, margin offsets, and the page range (e.g., "all" or "1-5, 8") in the Settings panel.
Click "Process Document & Download" to instantly apply the formatting to your file.
