Professional Running Headers, Footers & Book Spreads for PDFs
When preparing dissertations, legal motions, executive board decks, or published manuscripts, documents require professional running headers and footers. These communicate essential context—such as the document title, current chapter, classification tag (CONFIDENTIAL), revision date, and synchronized page counters.
Commercial PDF editors like Adobe Acrobat Pro and Sejda charge $15–$25/month for header and footer manipulation. Furthermore, free online converters often rasterize pages into blurry scans or send private files to cloud servers.
AirPDF provides a 100% free, private In-Browser Header, Footer & Running Head Inserter. Stamp headers and footers across thousands of pages in seconds with complete privacy.
6-Way Anchor Positioning with Vector Typography
Position information precisely where court rules or publishing guidelines dictate:
- Top Header Slots: Left (Author / Entity), Center (Document Title), Right (Date / Status).
- Bottom Footer Slots: Left (Copyright / File Reference), Center (Dynamic
Page {{page}} of {{total}}), Right (Exhibit / Code). - Macro Substitution: Insert
{{page}},{{total}},{{date}}, and{{filename}}anywhere. - Font & Styling Controls: Configure typography with Helvetica, Times, or Courier, adjustable font sizes (8–14 pt), and custom margin offsets.
Smart Publishing Rules
- Skip Cover Page: Leave page 1 completely untouched while starting headers cleanly on page 2.
- Alternating Spreads: Automatically mirror left and right slots across odd and even pages for professional two-sided book printing.
