Quick Summary: Header & Footer
Add custom headers and footers to PDF pages Siliph's Header & Footer is a free in-browser PDF utility featuring a built-in AI assistant to optimize formatting, suggest settings, and answer compliance questions.
What does Header & Footer do?
Header Footer adds repeating text or images at the top and bottom of every PDF page—company names, document titles, dates, and confidentiality notices.
When to use Header & Footer
- You need to adjust layout, text, or stamps using Header & Footer
- A PDF must be corrected without returning to the original app
- You are preparing files for professional presentation
Corporate letterhead rules, ISO document control, and classroom handouts often need consistent headers with revision dates and footers with page totals. Doing this manually in Word before each export wastes time when the source already exists as PDF.
Siliph Header Footer applies your strings across the page range you select in the browser-backed pipeline. Different odd and even headers mirror duplex printing requirements; font size and margin offsets align with narrow legal margins.
Confidentiality footers ("Internal use only") discourage casual forwarding without replacing a full watermark. Dynamic placeholders can include file name or today's date when supported by your template settings.
Encrypted uploads protect strategy decks and personnel policies during processing. Files purge within two hours on the free plan, and adding headers requires no Siliph account.
Use Watermark PDF for diagonal draft markings across the body, and Bates Numbering when discovery rules require unique identifiers instead of generic footers.
Siliph edit utilities—crop, rotate, headers, Bates numbers, metadata—apply changes in the browser with encrypted handling from the moment you drop a file. Finished PDFs auto-delete within two hours on the free plan, and every edit workflow opens without signup.
