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.

  • 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?

  • Acrobat Help | Add headers and footers to PDFs

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/add-headers-footers-pdfs.html

    The problem is that when Acrobat adds a header it does so in a OCG (Optional Content Group) with a fixed, pre-defined name ("Headers/Footers"), and so it can only edit (or remove) that specific one.
    I agree it would have been much better to use a dynamic OCG name ("Headers/Footers1", "Headers/Footers2", etc.), and then allow the user to select which one to edit/remove with a simple dialog window. Maybe you can suggest such a feature to Adobe here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • What to do if Add Header/Footer tool and Bates Numbering tool both get error message? File too big?

    Hello,
    I'm working with a 700 page / 103 Mo PDF that I need to put page numbers on. Both the Header/Footer tool and the Bates numbering tool result in error messages.
    'An error occurred while retrieving the contents of the page.'
    I suspect this is because the PDF was made by assembling 30 smaller PDFs via Preview and never down-sized during the process. I would imagine that would create a kind of clunky file. Or maybe it's simply the size that is overloading the software.
    Does anyone have any advice on a fix or a workaround for this? I need to put page numbers on. I really want to put them on the composite PDF (going back to the 30 original PDFs would be a real headache for a lot of reasons.)
    Thanks!

    Hi Eliza,
    Your suspicion is right. It might be possible that assembling different pdf's together created from different applications might be the issue.
    Try printing the pdf to Adobe pdf printer and then try adding the page numbers and check.

  • Is list of custom headers and footers. I can't find how to change the footer to print the Long Date

    '''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.

  • 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.

  • "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

  • 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.

  • Printing w/o headers and footers in OSX10.5

    I am trying to print from Firefox (or any other browser) without the header and footer. I have seen posts from other places saying to use the 'Page SetUp' to adjust margins, remove headers/footers etc, but in OSX10.5 those options are not available. Any help??

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    Look just to the right of the printer name in the print dialogue box and click on the little black triangle there - this will open a larger dialogue box that includes more options - in Safari print background and print headers and footers are there - the exact options depend on the software you are printing from

  • 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...

  • 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".

  • 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.
