Question

Does AcrobatSDK have function that adding headers and footers?

Can the Acrobat SDK add headers and footers that Acrobat can recognize?

when the user choose the 'Document' menu, then 'Header and Footer...' and the 'Update...' entry, then I want to recognize headers and footers.

Which API do you want to use? You’ve found the JavaScript watermark feature, but when you use the plugin API, you can do pretty much anything in a PDF file as long as you are familiar with the PDF specification. As Bernd explained, when you analyze what The internal structure in PDF of headers and footers is, you should be able to re-create that with your own code. This will not be a simple task, so be prepared to spend a serious amount of time on learning both about PDF and the API.

Page 75 of the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide "Adding Headers and Footers" describes addWatermarkFromText, but I think that Acrobat can not recognize headers and footers with this method.

I think that it is the same thing as the following forum.

Is there any other way?

You can add headers and footers with Adobe Acrobat manually. Then look at the internal structure of the headers and footers.

You can add headers and footers with Adobe Acrobat. You can find the documentation in the Acrobat SDK.

Where do i find that. The Adobe SDK documentation is a nightmare and you cannot search it.
