Add Header & Footer to PDF for engineers

Updated July 2026

Arthize lets engineering 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 engineers add a header or footer to a PDF

An engineer merges drawings and specs into one submittal, compares two revisions to catch changes, and archives the final set as PDF/A so it stays readable for the project's lifetime.

Built for drawings. Whether it's drawings, specifications, reports, Arthize's add header & footer to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Project documents can be commercially sensitive; a private workspace protects designs and client data.

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.
