Thank you Erin, you are a lifesaver. I was so stuck on a document and thanks to your clear and concise instructions I was able to figure out how to number the pages. From now on I will know where to go to find correct answers.

Hi Erin, thanks for your great videos. Recently I moved to a new company. they require to have all PDF documents with a specific header (has the name and company logo) and a footer (just a dark blue line). They supplied us with a template and asked us to update all of our old documents (where applicable) using it as a master page (placing the template as page 1), and then using the same method you explained in your video (update header and footer). This should replace all old header and footer in the old doc with the new ones in the template. I have tried this but it takes a very long time, and eventually, it does not do anything, please help

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I am unsure why the header and footer replacement process stopped working for you. Here is the link to Adobe's support's main article on headers and footers that you may find helpful: helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/add-headers-footers-pdfs.html#id_76379. Best of luck!

Hey Erin how to add a logo to my header right side of the page for suppose an Organisation logo to display on my PDF document? Is there any option to insert logo as such??

[@erinwrightwriting]

Hello, thank you for watching my video. Acrobat doesn't offer a way to add an image to the header through the normal header & footer tool. However, you can use the watermark tool to position an image within the header area. I have a tutorial on how to use the watermark tool: th-cam.com/video/7It6OjZ_CWY/w-d-xo.html. Best of luck!

Hi Erin, is it possible to add an editable fiels in the footer or header? thank you, Cornel

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! You can't add an editable field using the regular header and footer dialog box. However, you can add an editable field to the header and footer by creating it and then positioning it over that area. For some of the fields, you can then right-click it and select "Duplicate across pages." Best of luck!

Hello Erin, I would have a question about how to remove them. Would you have time to explain it to me?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! To remove the headers and footers, select Tools > Edit PDF > Header & Footer > Remove. I wish you all the best with your PDF project!
