I want to share some headers/footers I created with our team.

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

I am creating the document in PDF. I'm taking a bunch of word docs putting them in PDF portfolio and then combining them into a single PDF at that point I'll put the headers and Footers because otherwise the page and bring the rest would be off. I want to share the headers and Footers so that if somebody else's creating the document out of the portfolio they have footers on their machines


There named settings are saved at:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\Preferences\HeaderFooter

Hi Jeremyg31156267,

Please share the exact workflow you are following to understand the issue better.

Also you may refer to the link below and see if it helps:

I am creating a PDF document and I can add the headers and Footers. But sometimes I need another individual on the team to update the document and they would need to readd the headers and Footers. What we have found is that they have to recreate the headers and Footers for themselves to be able to add then. I would like to share my header footer template with them so that they would already be in the drop-down when they click add header.

What program did you use to author the source file the PDF was created from?

If you add headers in the authoring program they cannot be mass changed in Acrobat.
