Add Header & Footer to PDF for accountants

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets accounting and bookkeeping teams add a header or footer to a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Adding a header or footer stamps consistent text — titles, dates, file references — into the top or bottom margin of every page.

Why accountants add a header or footer to a PDF

At month-end a bookkeeper converts PDF bank statements to Excel to reconcile them, merges receipts into a single expense file, and compresses the package small enough to email a client — without the data ever leaving a private workspace.

Built for bank statements. Whether it's bank statements, invoices, tax returns, Arthize's add header & footer to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Financial records carry account numbers and personal details. Accountants need those files processed privately and deleted, not retained by a free tool.

What matters when you add a header or footer to a PDF

Headers and footers stamp repeated text into the page margins.

They are useful for titles, dates and document references.

The stamp is written into the file.
