About Add label

Add Label to PDF writes text onto your pages: a running header such as BCA Project Paper, a footer with the file name and date, a CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT stamp, or a diagonal watermark-style note. Pick one of nine anchor points, set the distance from the edge, then fine-tune with exact X and Y offsets in points, a nudge pad that moves by a screen pixel or as little as 0.1 pt, or by dragging the label in the preview.

Add up to eight labels in one go. Each label has its own text, font, size, colour, opacity, rotation, background box or bar, padding, border and page range. Text can include {n}, {total}, {page}, {pages}, {roman}, {file} and {date}. Everything runs in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a label and a page number?

A page number counts up on every page. A label is any text you choose, such as a title, a stamp or the file name. Use {n} or {page} inside a label if you also want a number.

Can I put different text on different pages?

Yes. Add one label per text and give each its own pages, for example one for odd pages and another for even pages.

Can I rotate a label or make it see-through?

Yes. Rotation goes from -180 to 180 degrees, and the text and the background each have their own opacity.

Which characters can I use?

English letters, numbers and common symbols. Other scripts cannot be written with the standard PDF fonts used here.

Does it work on landscape or rotated pages?

Yes. Labels are placed relative to the visible page, so they stay upright and in the right corner.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is opened and changed inside your browser.
