Add Header & Footer to PDF for lawyers
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets legal 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 lawyers add a header or footer to a PDF
Before a filing, a paralegal merges statements and exhibits into one bundle, adds consistent page numbers for the court, and redacts personal data so nothing privileged leaks — all inside a private workspace rather than a free public converter.
Built for contracts. Whether it's contracts, court bundles, exhibits, Arthize's add header & footer to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Client files are privileged. A contract or discovery packet uploaded to a stranger's ad-funded server is a confidentiality risk lawyers can't take.
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.
