How to Add a Footer with Page Numbers and Date to a PDF

A footer combining page numbers, the date, and a document title is standard for professional reports, legal documents, and official correspondence.

1

Open pdfeditor.onl/header-footer

Navigate to the header and footer tool and upload your PDF.

2

Configure the Footer

In the footer field, enter your template text. Use {page} for the current page number and {total} for the total page count. Example: "Page {page} of {total} | January 2026 | Confidential"

Tip: Center-align footers for formal reports. Right-align for internal documents where the right margin is the standard reference point.
