A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Headers, footers & watermark guideLeave room for the added text
Headers and footers are placed over the supplied page. Use a clear margin so they do not cover existing content.
Use page tokens
Use [page] and [total] in a header or footer for page-aware text. Check the numbering start and selected page range.
Can I add page numbers without a watermark?
Yes. Numbering, headers, footers and watermark text are separate controls. Leave the text fields blank when you only need numbers.
Can I start numbering at a different value?
Yes. Set Start numbering at. Numbers follow the source page index plus that start offset, including when a page selection is used.
Can I decorate only selected pages?
Yes. Decorate pages accepts page numbers, ranges, odd or even. Review the selected pages in the preview.
Does a watermark protect the PDF from editing?
A text watermark is a visible label. It does not add encryption, permissions or access control to the document.
