Most edits to a PDF are last-minute: a missing signature, a highlight for a colleague, a page number on a contract. Header & Footer handles those on the spot without a desktop install, an account or a subscription. Annotated output is flattened into the page, so the recipient sees exactly what you saw regardless of the reader they use.

No signup

No account, no email, no credit card, no trial to remember.

No watermark

What you download is the real file — clean, unmarked and print-ready.
