Can I omit headers and footers in conversion?

Hi everyone,
I am having problems with footers and headers each time I convert from pdf to Word using Adobe ExportPDF. It is an excellent program, but I have a problem.
I follow the instructions and the pdf converts to Word fine, but the converted text has a footer and header at each page break.
I tried converting after making the pdf continuous, i.e. no page breaks, but the footer and header still turns up where a page would be!
I have great difficulty dealing with the text in the footer and header and have to type in the last line on one page and the first line on the next page in order to complete the full text conversion. Can I not convert from pdf to Word without footers and headers?
If I can't get rid of the footer and header, then how to I deal with the text in the footer and header without wasting time and effort typing it in or dragging it from the footer and then having to get rid of the empty footer (also, same with header, of course)?
I thought I would just add this: When I create a Word document from scratch, the last line on the page and the first line on the next page are not in footers and headers. So why are they contained  in footers and headers after conversion using Adobe ExportPDF?
Many thanks folks,
Gareth

Hi Test Sceen Name, I wasn't quite sure how to address you by name, but you will correct me if required, I'm sure.
I can't help but notice that you have 4,392 posts to your credit, so you might say I am a little intimidated here, but I must say what I believe, though your answers will undoubtedly influence me, it's true.
Now, what is happening to me is that "every" document the problem of which I complain occurs at "every" page break.
If the software is "guessing" then it is guessing the same thing all the time. I am talking many hundreds of pages here and that is a lot of extra work for me to correct.
As for assuming this is not happening to others because of lack of response, surely if others read about my problem and have the "same" experience as me you would think that one of them at least would say something.
Am I the only one that this is happening to? If it is commonplace among members, then do they not have some kind of obligation to help a fellow member, if only to say, "Give it up, I have this too and there is no solution other than manual correction."? Would it not be somewhat perverse, to some degree anyway, for other members to experience the same problem as me and not pass on how they dealt with it?
Anyway, in light of all other non developments, I must bow to your truly considerable experience and put it down to a flaw in the software that the software then tries to correct by guessing.
I have been using MS Word since version 5.1a, a very long time ago. Content is not supposed to end up in footers or headers. Data, like date, page number and other repetitive text, yes, but content never. So it would seem that Adobe ExportPDF has a serious flaw, though in smaller documents it is one that can be surmounted reasonably. But for the long document, correcting it is a lot of work, too much work.
Well, until Adobe addresses the problem and fixes it I shall have to carry on either eradicating the footers and headers and replace the missing content, the last line on the page and the first line on the next page, with text from the PDF and then adjusting the font, spacing etc, or, copy what is in the footer and header and paste it where it belongs then getting rid of the now empty footers and headers.
Copying text from the PDF is less messyand quicker. So this I must do at every page break on every document that I submit to Adobe ExportPDF whether the document starts out with one long continuous page or not and even though resort to footers and headers has not been made. I shall hope that soon the software stops guessing.
Many thanks indeed for your kind consideration of my problem. I respect your considerable experience with Adobe products and for now, anyway, I shall take your advice as the last word as no other responses seem to be forthcoming. No doubt, because they agree with you.
I shall consider this string closed now from my point of view and have maked your response as helpful. I hope that is okay.
Thank again and all the best,
Gareth

  • In Pages, How can I get headers and footers to show up on more than the first page of each section?

    In Mountain Lion, I considered myself a fairly expert user of Pages. Since "upgrading" to Mavericks, I can't get even basic things to work anymore. My current problem is that the headers and footers are only showing up on the first page of each section. A related annoyance is that if I copy the information in a header or footer, all the associated formatting disappears when I paste it. But the first problem is the one that matters — headers and footers that only show up on one page sort of negate the whole point of headers and footers.

    If you click the link I posted previously, it takes you right to the Pages community.

  • How can I trim headers and footers off content to be scraped/rewritten in a channel?

    I would like to obtain the raw html code after the rewriting functionality has already taken place to manipulate the HTML code. Basically removing the fluff at the top and bottom. In this way, I can include a subset of the HTML page, rewritten in a channel. Is there an API call to the gateway to request a URL and get the returned rewritten HTML back? If not, there should be.

    Currently there are no api's available for the rewriter or the gateway. Can you explain a little more in detail , what you are trying to do, so I can tell you if there are any possible ways to do that with portal.

  • Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers

    I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the  alignment is wrong.  The center footer/header should be center-aligned  and the right header/footer should be right-aligned.  Unfortunately,  they are both left-aligned.
    The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when  the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts  to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the  page, as appropriate.
    This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
    Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is  something that I need to do to fix this problem.
    This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
    Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added.  Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
    Any guidance is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nope.  The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
    heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
    very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
    it.
    The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
    all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
    them to want to fix it.
    I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
    or ‹ and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
    prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch ‹ you should
    check out PDFPen.  It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
    footers.
    If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
    and just use Preview or PDFPen.

  • Can you resize the headers and footers thats located in the page setup? Is there any possible way...or is it set that small by default?

    Hi Again Bob.
    It looks like I am going to be upgrading hardware and software to CS5 after all (With an extra headache of Q2ID). Just before I do so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction...
    Is it possible that Amazon might stock legitimate versions of CS4? i.e: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-CS4-Design-Premium-Mac/dp/B001UV3T4W/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
    Or could one download a trial of CS4 and purchase after the 30 days? (no idea where a trial would come from either)
    I can't seem to get any information on CS4 at the moment, and would rather not purchase illegitimate software!
    Thanks for your help

  • I need to print web generated pages for report cards, etc. How can I turn off headers and footers when printing? (Mac OS X 10.8)

    By "headers and footers" I mean the url that gets printed at the top/bottom of the page.

    You can do that from
    '''Firefox Menu''' > '''Print Setup''' (Press the right arrow button in the right end of print option) > '''Print setup''' > '''Margin & Header/Footer''' tab
    In Header/ Footer section select '''--blank--- for ''' from drop down for everything or which ever you don't want

    '''There should be a list of custom headers and footers.''' I can't find how to change the footer to print the '''Long Date'''. It took awhile just to find Page &PT. So I would appreciate if someone could post a list. Also if someone can answer how to print the Long Date.

  • I want to disable the headers and footers. There's directions on ebay saying to go to firefox FILE and find PAGE SETTINGS to disable. I can't find these.

    I need to print my ebay flyer and in order for it to print correctly, I need to take the headers and footers off the page. How can I do this on firefox? I don't see a FILE or PAGE SETTINGS anywhere. Anybody out there?

    What OS are you on?
    In Windows: press Alt+F (opens classic File menu) > Page Setup
    (I don't have personal experience with Mac or Linux)

  • Can I possibly enlarge the headers and footers in Firefox's "Page Setup" menu to enlarge it so I can see it better...or is it something I'm gonna have to deal with being SO SMALL. Mike Lomax

    I'd like to have the headers and footers enlarged like IE8 browser is. The headers and footers are pretty small.

    This appears to be hard-coded in Firefox to 10 point type, unlike most other settings which allow a user setting to override the default.
    One partial workaround is to change your default serif font to something larger than Times New Roman. For example, the text seems at least a point size larger if I use Bookman Old Style.
    Tools > Options > Content > Advanced... "Serif"
    Of course, less of the URL or Title will fit this way...
    Notes on the Fx code:
    File:
    \mozilla-2.0\layout\generic\nsSimplePageSequence.cpp
    Code:
    mPageData->mHeadFootFont->size = nsPresContext::CSSPointsToAppUnits(10);
    I don't know how to suggest code changes, but it really would be nice for the point size to be configurable (even if the user has to go into about:config to change it).

  • How to remove remove page headers and footers

    Hello
    I can't seem to remove headers and footers from my sheet in print view. I am trying to print a chart and the header and footer are eating up valuable real estate! When using 'Pages' I can simply turn them off, where is the equivalent setting in 'Numbers'.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Is it really useful to respond to a ridiculous rant ?
    We may perfectly define zero margins.
    What can't be done is to completely get rid of Headers and Footers as we may do in Pages.
    When we enter zero in the Header and Footer fields, we are defining the offset of the item to the top/bottom of the printable area. We don't set the item's height to zero.
    A workaround allowing us to get quite zero margins in Pages :
    Put the cursor in a header.
    Define the font size to 1.
    Put the cursor in a footer.
    Define the font size to 1.
    doesn't apply to Numbers.
    If we set the font size to 20, the header height become greater, if we set it to less than 10, the application set the item's height to 10 points.
    From my point of view, it's clearly a bug (already reported) but I don't know any application with no bug.
    So, if Mr MayBeDay is able to create an application without bugs, he may send a curriculum vitae to Apple which will certainly be glad to sign him.

  • Only headers and footers appear attempting to print PDFs in Safari 5.0.2

    I am a Mac user trying to help my friend, who uses Safari 5.0.2 on his PC. He can open PDFs within Safari, but when he attempts to print them, all that appears are headers and footers (same thing appears in Print Preview).
    Any suggestions?

    One thing that might be worth a try is uninstalling and then reinstalling his Adobe Reader, Don. (The theory is that that should swap out the nppdf32.dll file governing the Adobe PDF plugin used by Safari.)
    Any better printing performance following the Reader reinstall?

  • Different Headers and footers in case of multiple layouts

    Hi
    I have a requirement in which we have 4 layouts in one concurrent program and the layout to be selected is to be decided by the value of DFF at Invoice header level.
    The 4 layouts have different headers and footers for which i am trying use single template (RTF) or multiple sub templates through Import functionality in XML Publisher but not able to show different headers and footers in one document. Also i have tried with the ?start:body?> and <?end body?> tags but facing issues in displaying different headers and footers in one document as we cant call the same body tags again in one rtf.
    I am able to show different headers/footers data for 4 rtf templates by using import functionality as below but the footers can get shifted to next page if the line level records increases.
    Can someone please help. Want to know if its possible to have this functionality. Thanks in Advance.

    The possibility to have different headers/footers for 4 pages in a single word document. Is this functionality possible?
    I want to generate report in which the Invoice header DFF value will decide which template to pick up from 4 layouts and every template has different header/footer.
    i am trying use single template (RTF) or multiple sub templates through Import functionality
    There are two ways in which i am trying to achieve the solution.
    1. I am adding 4 layouts in a single document.
    We can't use the <?start:body?> and <?end body?> tags in one file multiple times so i cant go with this option.
    2. I am using import functionality in which i am registering one Master template which will call 4 sub templates as per the DFF value and that layout will be populated.
    Code for Master template
    <?if: TRX_TYPE ='INV'?>
    <?import:xdo://LLCUST.LL_TEST_LAYOUT1.en.AU/?><?call-template:SubledgerTemplate?>
    <?end if?>
    <?if: TRX_TYPE ='CM'?>
    <?import:xdo://LLCUST.LL_TEST_LAYOUT2.en.AU/?><?call-template:SubledgerTemplate2?>
    <?end if?>
    Code for Layout1 template(LL_TEST_LAYOUT1)
    <?template:SubledgerTemplate?>
    <?call-template:SubledgerTemplateHeader?>
    TAX INVOICE 1
    Invoice Date:TRX_DATE     
    Invoice No: TRX_NUMBER
    Lines data
    <?template:SubledgerTemplateHeader?> Header1<?end template?>
    <?template:SubledgerTemplateFooter?> Footer1<?end template?>
    <?call-template:SubledgerTemplateFooter?>
    <?end template?>
    But here after importing the RTF we need to call the particular template (<?call-template:SubledgerTemplate?>) which can't be combined with the <?start:body?> and <?end body?> tags. So the Footer will not be static at its place.
    Please suggest or let me know if you need any more info or i can forward you the template etc.
    Regards,
    Sanket

  • How do I get headers and footers to print?

    A few months ago, I upgraded from OSX Lion to OSX Mavericks.
    I just converted a Numbers sheet to the new version of Numbers in Mavericks.
    When I prepare to print the sheet, I can see a header (containing date and title) and a footer (containing page number and count) on every page.  To be clear, these are repeating lines at the top and bottom of each page - they are not rows within the table.
    When I print the sheet, none of these lines appear.  What do I have to do to get them to print?  I solved this problem for other sheets (several months ago) by calling Apple Care.  Now, my Apple Cae has expired, Help is useless and I forget what I did before.
    Can someone tell me what the magic setting is wuthn Numbers?
    Thanks

    Hey theoqaat,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the headers and footers are not printing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Headers and footers in accessible PDF

    I have a Microsoft Word 2007 document with headers and footers. When I use the PDFMaker icon to create a PDF for Acrobat 9, I need the headers and footers to be included in the Tags panel and to have a number in the Order panel. However, the header and footer are completely ignored by Acrobat, and treated as "Background."
    I sure hope someone has a suggestion about this; otherwise it will be a tremendous amount of work for a long document to add headers and footers into the Order panel and the Tags panel.

    The Header and Footer on each page has been designated as an "Artifact".
    Standard MO for any competent tag management facility provided with/for the authoring application.
    AT knows to ignore artifacts.
    An overview of how to fold Header/Footer content into the structure tree open the Tags panel.
    From the Options menu use "Find".
    Select Find: Artifacts.
    When Header/Footer PDF page content is located (the blue box) return focus to the Tags panel.
    Select the tag to which the identified content's Container is to placed.
    (Upfront - give some thought as to what is to go where in the tree. Fraggled structure trees (bad/improper Tag semantics) can really hose a PDF in terms of accessibility).
    On the Find Element dialog, click "Tag Element".
    Note where the new Container appears in the structure tree.
    Be sure that it and the parent tag are properly placed.
    Repeat for each Header/Footer.
    Be aware that putting repeating Header/Footer content that, due to being in a Header/Footer, should be an artifact into the structure tree will result in AT presenting the content to the AT end-user over and over again as one moves through the pages.
    An almost guaranteed way to really render the "message" intended for the end-user to be drowned out by the "noise".
    Such PDFs can be very annoying and thus are, typically, set aside and avoided.
    An unintended consequences is the perception that the entity who "owns" the content is, likely, not worth their salt and to be avoided as well.
    Best practice — If content is salient to the semantic intent of the document it is properly folded into the text flow.
    Be well...
