About this tool
Headers and footers turn loose pages into a document: the report title at the top, the date and page count at the bottom, a confidentiality notice along the way. They're standard in anything produced by a word processor — and absent from most scans, exports and merged files. This tool retrofits them cleanly.
Six independent slots (header and footer × left, center, right) accept any text, and four tokens expand per page: {page} and {pages} for numbering, {date} for today's date, {filename} for the file's name. "{page} / {pages}" in the footer-right slot is the classic; "Confidential — {filename}" in the header-left is a close second.
Font, size, color, margins and a page-range filter are all adjustable, so the result looks deliberate rather than stamped on. Combined slots also make this the quickest way to add both a document title and page numbers in a single pass.
Frequently asked questions
Which tokens can I use?
{page} for the current page number, {pages} for the total count, {date} for today's date in your locale format, and {filename} for the document's filename. Tokens can be mixed freely with your own text.
Can headers appear on some pages only?
Yes — use the page range field. "2-" skips a cover page; "1-10" limits the header to the first section.
Can I use different text on odd and even pages?
Not in one pass yet. Run the tool twice — once with an odd-page range, once with even — to get book-style alternating headers.
Will this overwrite existing headers in the document?
No, it draws on top of what's there. If the document already has headers in the same spot, they'll overlap — pick a different position or margin.
