# Headers & Footers

Insert a Header or Footer | Remove a Header or Footer

Headers and footers are special embedded text frames at the bottom and top of every page in a document. Headers are a good place to put the document name, while a footer is a good place for the page number or date. Headers and Footers appear exactly the same on each page in the document. The text on the first page is the same as the text on the last page, except for page numbers, which change from page to page.

| NOTE: Frames cannot have headers or footers, only full-page documents can have them. Image processing does not support headers and footers. All other environments do.

Text enlarged for demonstration purposes.
