Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add an image to the header? ▼
Yes — the tool supports uploading an image (e.g. company logo) to include in the header area.
Does the footer appear on every page? ▼
Yes — headers and footers are applied consistently to all pages.
Can I skip the header/footer on the first page? ▼
There is a 'skip first page' option for cases where the first page is a title or cover page.
Header/Footer vs Page Numbers Tool
The dedicated Add Page Numbers tool is optimised for sequential numbering with format options (Arabic, Roman, Alpha). The Header/Footer tool is more powerful — arbitrary text content, image support (company logo), and separate left/center/right alignment zones in both header and footer areas. Dynamic tokens {PAGE} and {TOTAL} auto-resolve per page. Use Page Numbers for simple numbering; use Header/Footer when you need full professional document branding.
Common professional uses: law firms add matter numbers and confidentiality notices; consultancies brand with logo and engagement ID; academic institutions add course codes; government agencies add classification labels ("DRAFT", "UNCLASSIFIED") in footers. All fully supported with ConvertPDF.Live's font, size, colour, and image controls.
