Header & Footer Ribbon

This ribbon shows up in Advanced Edit mode, as you add or edit a header or a footer. To add a header or a footer, go to Insert > Headers and Footers, then click Header or click Footer and then choose Edit Header/Edit Footer.

Important! Advanced Edit and Review modes do not share the header and footer handling but use different features.

  • Advanced Edit mode cannot edit the headers and footers created with the Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers command in Review Mode.

  • Also, in Review Mode, you cannot use the Edit > Insert > Headers and Footers commands on headers and footers created in Advanced Edit mode.

  • If you select the Finalize option when leaving Advanced Edit mode, Power PDF removes the metadata related to advanced editing and converts the document to a standard PDF format. In this case, you can edit all header and footer text with the Edit > Modify > Edit text command.
