Centering Headers and Footers in Adobe Acrobat 9

I've read past posts about the inability to center a multi-line header or footer in Adobe Acrobat 9, and the fact that it was not fixed in Acrobat 9. Is anyone working on a fix, other than manually entering spaces to center the header or footer? The frustrating thing about attempting this manual fix is that the preview one sees while entering the header/footer information DOES center the text, so that one does not have an accurate view of what will show on the page. I know that one of the suggestions is to add this information before converting the document to Adobe Acrobat. However, this occurred in a document I scanned using HP software, in which I requested that it be immediately converted to a PDF. Unfortunately, as far as I can find, HP does not keep the original scan (unlike PaperPort), so I'd have to re-scan the document. In the future, I will convert to Word, add the header, and then convert to PDF.
Thanks!

You can use the Watermark feature.

How do I Prevent Headers and Footers in Acrobat 8?

Hello.
With Acrobat 8, how do I prevent headers and footers, such as the footer below, from appearing?
(I'm not even sure if these are actually headers and footers, or something else. If they're something else, I don't know what they are called.)
I'm creating the files by right-clicking on various .HTM files, and selecting Convert to Adobe PDF in the context menu.
Thank you! Jd

System Information:

I think they are in edit preferences also, under the convert to PDF. I am not sure this is the same preference set.

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!

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.

Why are some of my pages centering themselves (vertically and horizontally) after I select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting..." option under Add Headers and Footers?

I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I added header and footers through Adobe. I needed to select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics" feature under the "Appearance Options..." option within the "Add Header and Footer" window. Some of the pages in my document that only had a few lines of text on them centered themselves (vertically and horizontally). How can I prevent that from happening?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

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.

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?

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...

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.

Changing Headers and Footers in FrameMaker 8

Our margins for our headers and footers in the template I created are too large; I'd like to change them but simply can't remember how. I've consulted the forums and Adobe Help.
I scoured the reference pages to try and jar my memory, but it's not working.
Any healp is greatly appreciated.

Margins are set using Format > Page Layout > Column Layout...
If this doesn't give you the control that you want, try editing the
Master Pages directly using the graphical tools and Object Properties
to re-size and re-position the frames as desired. Also turn on the
Borders under the View menu so that you can see the outlines of the
frames.

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?

PDF headers and footers

Hi,
Trying to write a vocal reader for a PDF document, however, stuff that people would normally skip are being read by the reader (headers, footers, page numbers, footnotes, etc).
Anyone knows a way to programmatically recognize the type of the paragraph you are currently reading in a PDF file so the reader can skip those?
Thanks,
T.R.

Depends on whether the PDF is tagged or not. If it's tagged, then those things would be artifacts and you could skip them. If it's not tagged, then you'll need to do the analysis yourself to make the determination.

Pdf headers and footers again

I have windows 7 -64bit with Safari 5.03 on my work-pc.
When I try to Save As a .pdf files it won't, it shoes me only All Files in file type.
Also when I try to print the .pdf, it prints only headers and footers.
I have reinstalled adobe readers (suggested fix )several times, but it hasn't helped me. Any other ideas?

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.

PDF Output - Include headers and footers?

Hi,
When I generate a PDF of my web help, I was hoping that it would include the headers and footers that are on my master pages, but it doesn't. I've poked around in the settings, but can't seem to find a way to make this happen. There's no conditional build tag on the header and footer.
Does anyone know how to specify this?
Thanks!

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?

No biggy if the answer is no. I just would like the printer's headers and footers the same size as my Internet Explorer 8 thats all.

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
Lawrence
