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.

Anybody ever solve this problem? I just started using(trying too, that is)
Acrobat Pro for writing letters and starting at the top I ran right into
this problem. Seems like a deal killer.

  • 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.

  • Header Footer tool replaces headers and footers in PDF

    The header/footer tool replaces the headers and footers in my PDF, this header and footer I am referring to was not added in Adobe but was added in Word 2010, when I tried to add an additional header to my PDF (I added a page number) it replaced the footers that was already in my document. The only way I could get around this is with adding a header instead of replacing, which is quick fix, but as soon as you add more pages to your PDF and want to re-apply the header/footer to update the page number that I added to the header it would remove ALL headers and footers from the PDF.

    I am having the same problem.  Here are the steps.  We created a series of documents in WORD 14.0.7143.5000 32 bit.  Each WORD document has a footer specific to that document (i.e. WORD documents are: Business Plan, Market Study, etc. which are each a separate WORD document, each with a separate WORD footer).  Each WORD document is converted to PDF with Adobe X.  The PDF documents are then combined into a single document with Adobe X.  Then with Adobe X we create a new footer (i.e. Document Package, with date, etc.) which is applied to each page of the Document Package.  So each page of the Document Package SHOULD have a Footer of : (1) On the Left Margin - the original WORD document (i.e. Business Plan) and (2) on the right margin - the footer inserted with Adobe X (Document Package footer).
    Here is where it breaks.  The WORD footers are retained when we convert from WORD to Adobe.  The WORD footers for each document are also retained when we combine the several PDF's into a single PDF (Document Package).  It is only when we add the Adobe Footer to the Document Package that we lose all the original WORD footers.  The result is the Document Package has only that one Document Package footer (on the right margin), and we lose each of the footers which were in the original WORD documents (left footers).  I tried this two ways.  First was to modify the footer, and the second way was to add a new footer - neither works - both delete the original WORD footers.  Also, it is interesting because the original WORD footers do not show up in the ADOBE footer box (the screen where you enter the text and other information for the footer).
    The use of the Watermark might be possible, and it is probably the work around we will need to use, but it is a poor solution.  Please let me know when fixed.

  • Prints gibberish in headers and footers in emails or web pages.

    I have an HP J4540. The headers and footers print gibberish either in email or a web page. The body of the text is fine. It prints fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox.

    Welcome to the HP Community , I read through your post about the printing issues you have been having, and I hope to help you! Seeing how the printer will make copies and test print tells us that the printer itself is fine and there is no hardware issues. However, seeing how printing from two different computers will not work, flags a software problem on the computers. Please try out the steps below and get back to me with the results and we will go from there. If you did not install the Full Driver, run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows to search and install the complete driver and software. This will need to run on both computers individually. Manually restart the print spoolers on the computers:1. Click Start
    2. Type "Services" in the search field.
    3. Open SERVICES
    4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"
    5. Search for Print Spooler
    6. Right-click it and choose Properties
    7. Select as Automatic in the drop down box, close the Window
    8. Right click on Print Spooler and choose "Stop", wait until it stops and then right click again and "Start".
    9. Close out of Services and try printing from Notepad.10. Try printing from a web browser now, if there is a problem with the print, try a different web browser.  Show thanks for my reply to help you today by hitting the "thumbs up" icon below!I hope to hear from you, good luck! 

  • When exporting as Microsoft Word, headers and footers created incorrectly

    Using Acrobat X, I converted a PDF file to Microsoft Word 2007 format. I selected "Flow Layout" because I'm writing automated software that reads Word documents and flow makes it easier to process. In case you're wondering, I don't read PDF directly simply because most of the documents my software reads is native Word. For the remaining PDF documents, translation to Word prevents me having to write software that reads both Word or PDF files.
    Here's the issue:
    With Flow layout, Acrobat attempts to determine Word headers and footers. Unfortunately, it does so incorrectly much of the time for many documents. In particular, lines near the top of the file are "pulled" into the header and lines near the bottom are "pulled" into the footer. In the following picture, look closely at the black vs. grey text. The grey text is in the headers and footers. Note also the green squiglies indicating grammer errors.
    I either need this fixed, or an option to turn off header/footer recognition.

    No problem:) The RC should come out early next week...

  • "Headers and Footers" error message

    Often when I'm in a topic and double-click on a template to
    open it and get some standard text, I get a dialog box called
    "Headers and Footers" which scolds me about "This topic was created
    from a template and the header and footer has been modified." There
    are two options: "Apply this modification to al topics created from
    the template" and "Apply this modification to this topic only.
    Note: Choosing this option will remove the link to the template."
    Weird this is, neither my topics nor my template have a header or
    footer. Did long ago, but I deleted it. Is this a common buggy
    error, or perhaps something residual from a header/footer of long
    ago? Thx, Eric

    Hi MunchMan and welcome to our community
    Normally, we use Templates to create Headers and Footers and
    apply them to a group or all topics. Naturally, if RoboHelp HTML
    thinks you have modified a Header or a Footer inside of a topic
    attached to a template, it is giving you the option of updating all
    topics with the template attached or disassociating from the
    existing template and basically "orphaning" the topic from any
    templates.
    I'm not sure I'd classify it as a bug. More along the lines
    of "working as designed" or "expected behavior".
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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.

  • When upgrading from Abobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI, is it possible to save Headers and Footers in documents?

    I support a law firm that users headers and footers in their documents.  They are upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI.  when they did an install on one PC, the headers and footers in a PDF did not show and had to be recreated.  Is there a way around that?  I's appreciate any input.
    Thanks!
    Ed

    This is a work around. Bring the pdf into Illustrator. Go to Select >Object>Text.  In the attributes panel, deselect Overprint. In the Transparency panel, select Knockout Group. In the Appearance panel, check to make sure the black is not overprinting by clicking on the Character entry. If not, try clicking "Clear Appearance" (here I got a little lost.
    Resave the pdf file. Your black text should now knock out. You may have to retrap, unless your RIP does that for you.
    Hope this helps. (I had to keep trying to get it to work, but I finally did.

  • 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...

  • Suppressing headers and footers in PDFs made from HTML files

    When I convert a HTML file to PDF with Acrobat 9 Standard, the PDF contains a footer (file path) and header (file name).  I don't want these to appear in my PDF.  I have disabled headers and footers in MSIE 8, but that has no effect.  I can't deleted these objects from within Acrobat, unless I edit each page with the text touch up tool.  Is there a way to suppress the header/footer?  The subject HTML files came from another system.  Thanks.

    Thanks, Bernd, but where are these settings?  While I'm writing, is there a setting to make an html file fit on one page in Acrobat?

  • Exporting pdf does NOT show my headers and footers

    I export number files to my administrators. I've noticed when I print my file directly from my computer in iWork/Numbers it prints and show the footer and header. However, when I send a bcc to myself when I attach the pdf file to my administrator, it does not show or print my headers and footers. Any ideas?

    Re-reading the original question, it does appear that Gogoette is exporting to PDF then attaching the file to an email versus using the "Send via email as PDf" operation. In that case, setting it to Page View for the export will solve the problem. I had originally thought "Send via email as PDF" was being used. What I noticed is that it doesn't give you the choice of page versus sheet view but if you first go through the motions of exporting, it sets it up. In prior threads about exporting to PDF, we have all recommended using Print, not export, and choosing Print to PDF (rather than to a printer) as the best way to create a PDF. It gives more flexibility, such as allowing you to choose which pages to "print to PDF".

  • Ftting headers and footers to a pdf page

    Hi All, I want to add headers and footers to the pdf pages ,but the problem is the page content spans all accross the page due to which headers will be over writing the content of the pdf page. Is there any way to compress the content of the page so that i can fit in the headers and footers correctly?

    In Acrobat Pro you can increase the page size with the crop tool.

  • 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).

  • I get total gibberish on the headers, footers and body of certain sites when printing. In other sites the body comes out OK but the headers and footers never do. Anybody have similar issues? Is it a product of a recent Firefox update? I never had this

    After a recent update I've been having problems printing off the web. My headers and footers are always "gibberish" and in some case so is the body of the document. I never had this problem before and I've been using Firefox for years. This same printer (Canon MX 850) worked fine until recently. Any ideas?

  • After updating to Yosemite,  headers and footers no longer visible.

    After updating to Yosemite, all of my headers and footers have moved to the back layer, hidden by images and graphics. How do I move them back to the front so they are on top of images and graphics? This has affected all of my old documents where headers and footers used to be visible atop images. In addition, new documents also keep headers and footers all the way to the back layer, so they do not appear on top of images or graphics. Is there a way to fix this?

    Other 'machine' would be my iPad (first edition), but I am not acctually trying to connect at the time......it also applies to my address book and iphoto etc. I keep getting messages that pop up on my screen everytime I am on the computer, asking for the password. Guess I am experiencing problems all 'icloud' . This is getting to be a major irritation.
    Thanks
