How we handle your data

Add Header and Footer

Add a header and footer to every workflow page, with a packet title and page reference, so reviewers know where each page belongs after the handoff.

Six labeled pages. Enter a header such as Quarterly report and keep the footer Page {page} of {pages}; page 3 should then read Page 3 of 6. Latin characters only.

A practical guide

Mark each page with its packet.

  1. Choose one PDF and enter header text, footer text or both.
  2. Use {page} and {pages} for numbers, and set alignment, font size and pages.
  3. Create the copy and check the top and bottom margins of several pages.

Try this example

Use Intake packet A as a left-aligned header and {page}/{pages} as a right-aligned footer on pages 2-8, leaving the cover page unchanged.
