FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF Header/Footer Editor free to use?
Yes — 100% free with no page count restrictions, no file size limitations, and no watermarks added. All tools on BunchTool are free forever.
Will the added headers and footers support links or formatting?
The headers and footers are added as flattened standard PDF text elements. They do not support HTML tags or links, but they support standard font styling, color definitions, opacity, and positioning.
How do I start page numbering from page 2 instead?
To hide header/footer elements on cover sheets, choose the 'Exclude Cover Page' setting under Target Page Range. The header or footer will automatically skip Page 1, beginning numbering on Page 2.
Can I use custom font files?
To guarantee offline execution speed and maintain minimal output document file sizes, BunchTool utilizes the standard built-in PDF reader fonts: Helvetica, Times-Roman, and Courier. External font uploads are not supported.
