Page headers and footers in PDF documents provide important information like page numbers, company name, and date. With Foxit PDF Editor Pro, adding headers and footers is easy. Simply go to the Organize tab, then Header Footer button. Choose to add a new one, update current ones, or remove existing ones. Customize the font, size, color, and position of the header or footer text. In this tutorial, the date is added as a header on the right side. Use the Macros drop-down menu to insert the date. Pro tip: modify date and page number formats by clicking on the Page number and date format button.
