What placeholders are supported?

Use {n} for the current page number (starting at 1) and {total} for the total page count. You can combine them, e.g. "Page {n} of {total}".

Can I add a header to only some pages?

Not from this tool — headers and footers are applied to every page. Use the full PDFCraft suite for per-page control.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. pdf-lib runs locally in your browser; the PDF and the text you add never leave your device.
