Revu Tutorial: Adding Headers and Footers
Headers and Footers are used to add page numbers, date stamps, Bates numbers and any text to PDF
Pages. With Revu, you can add custom Headers and Footers to a single PDF or a batch of PDFs.
Headers and Footers templates can be saved for repeated use.
Add Headers and Footers
To add a header or footer:
l
On the Command Bar, click Document > Pages >
Headers and Footers.
Add Header and Footer data:
In the Header and Footer section, there are six boxes representing the right, left and center areas of the
header and footer respectively.
l
Click in the desired box and add data either by entering text or by clicking one of the four Insert
buttons.
The four buttons are Page Number, Date, Bates Number, and File Data.
Page Number: Auto-generates page number value and displays it in the chosen format.

Date: Auto-generates the date and displays it in the chosen format.
Bates Number: A third auto-generated text option is a Bates Number. This numbering
format allows you to create a number that contains a Prefix, Suffix, and fixed number of
digits (inserts preceding zeros). The number will apply to all pages and files in the set.
File Data: Inserts any property of the file in the header or footer, such as FileName, Path,
Author, and more.
To define the appearance of the text:
l
Select the desired settings in the Font section.
To change the margins:
l
Adjust or enter the desired values in the boxes of the Margin section.
