Why bookkeepers add a header or footer to a PDF

A bookkeeper converts PDF bank statements to Excel to reconcile the month, merges receipts into a single file, and compresses the package to send to the client — privately.

Built for bank statements. Whether it's bank statements, receipts, ledgers, Arthize's add header & footer to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client financial records must be processed privately and never retained by an outside service.

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.
