Correct answer harsha nidhig82437067

Hi Aiswarya,

There might be a possibility where the text present in header/footer section is not actually one. But instead manually added text. Kindly confirm if it's header/footer or normal text. You can differentiate by double clicking on the text (which is assumed to be header/footer), if it opens Design tab in the menu bar where header/footer operations can be done, then it's header/footer else it's manually added text.

If this doesn't clear your query can you please share the pdf with us, so that we can do a better investigation on this?

I have the EXACT same problem. I export a pdf file into Word and the first 10 lines of each page are displayd in a slightly lighter font. When this section is clicked, the Design tab opens. If I delete header, these lines are deleted.
