You can add textual information to appear along the top or bottom of your PDF pages in one or more PDF documents. Text for
the top area is a header, and for the bottom area it is a footer. The text can be left- or right-aligned or centered; it appears in
a font, size, style and color you can define. A page range can be applied to exclude the header or footer from certain pages. Text
can be user-defined or pre-defined, such as a page number, date, author, title, or other.
To place headers and/or footers, click
Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers, and then select
Add,
Update, or
Remove from the menu:
Select
Add to display the
Add Header and Footer dialog box. You can specify the appearance, content, page range for headers
and/or footers. Insert macros such as
Date,
Page Number, or document-specific data such as
Author,
Created Date to fill in different fields within headers and footers. Follow your operations
step-by-step in the
Preview area to make sure there is sufficient clear area on every page to receive the header
and/or footer. Modify margin settings if necessary. In the Schemes area, click
Create to save current settings as a re-usable pattern. Click
OK to apply these settings to the current PDF or
Apply to Multiple to select further PDF files to receive the header or footer.
Select
Update to display the
Update Header and Footer dialog box. Use this option to place currently valid values (such as date
and time) into different fields of headers or footers or after some changes have taken place in your document: pages inserted,
extracted, replaced and more. Modify current settings for the header and/or footer in the
Add Header and Footer dialog box. Save new settings under another name by clicking
Create. Such update applies to the current document only.
Select Remove to display the Remove
Header and Footer dialog box. After confirmation, headers and
footers are removed from your document.
To save your settings to a reusable scheme, you must click
Create before clicking
OK or
Apply to Multiple.
The program may not be able to recognize and manage headers and footers generated by other applications.
Headers and footers are text type objects, so they can be used, fully or partly, as attributes in operations such as
Find,
Compare,
Split, and more.
With
Power PDF Advanced, a
Bates Number can also be added by an
Add Header and Footer operation if saved in a Scheme. When this dialog box is accessed from a
Bates Numbering command, a Bates Number becomes the default macro. A header/footer with a
Bates number cannot be updated or removed; it can be altered only via the
Bates Numbering controls.
Search results
Search tips
The search returns topics that contain terms you enter. If you type more than one term, an OR is assumed, which returns topics where any of the terms are found. Enclose your search terms in quotes for exact-phrase matching.
The search also uses fuzzy matching to account for partial words (such as install and installs). The results appear in order of relevance, based on how many search terms occur per topic. Exact matches are highlighted.
To refine the search, you can use the following operators:
Type + in front of words that must be included in the search or - in front of words to exclude. (Example: user +shortcut –group finds shortcut and user shortcut, but not group or user group.)
Use * as a wildcard for missing characters. The wildcard can be used anywhere in a search term. (Example: inst* finds installation and instructions.)
Type title: at the beginning of the search phrase to look only for topic titles. (Example: title:configuration finds the topic titled “Changing the software configuration.”)
For multi-term searches, you can specify a priority for terms in your search. Follow the term with ^ and a positive number that indicates the weight given that term. A higher number indicates more weight. (Example: shortcut^10 group gives shortcut 10 times the weight as group.)
To use fuzzy searching to account for misspellings, follow the term with ~ and a positive number for the number of corrections to be made. (Example: port~1 matches fort, post, or potr, and other instances where one correction leads to a match.)
Note that operators cannot be used as search terms: + - * : ~ ^ ' "
