Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What can go in a header or footer?
Running text at the top or bottom of every page — a case caption, a date, a filename, a matter number. It is the right tool when the text belongs at the page edge on every page.
Can I put page numbers in the footer?
Yes — type {page} or {page} of {pages} into the footer text. For number formats, a custom start or roman numerals, use Page Numbers; for production identifiers, use Bates.
Does Header & Footer upload my PDF to a server?
No. The file is opened, processed and saved back by code running in this browser tab — there is no upload endpoint on our servers to send it to. You can watch the Network panel in your browser's developer tools while you work and confirm nothing carrying the document leaves the page.
Is Header & Footer free?
Header & Footer is free with a free account: up to 3 downloads a day, and a small PDFMacro line on each page of a saved PDF. Pro removes both. There are no page or file-size caps on either plan.
Does it work offline?
With Pro, yes. Once the page has loaded, every tool keeps working with the network disconnected, because the processing never depended on a server round-trip; OCR's language packs need one download the first time. A free account needs a connection to save, for its daily count. AI features need your AI: your provider online, or your local model running.

Your file is never uploaded. Work on it right away; a free account saves it. Open a file and see for yourself — the network panel is right there if you want to check.
