Page Footer and Header

shakeyourbunny wrote on 2010-05-05:
Hello,

I really like this HTML to PDF service, but I am missing (for archival purposes) something important: is it possible to add the original HTML source somewhere in the page footer or header? Page numbers would be cool though too.

At least it would be convenient to add the source url in the author field of the PDF properties automatically :)

These are all good ideas. We will add options for inserting both the source url and page numbers in footers/headers.

We have already implemented your idea with the author field - check it out.

Thanks for your feedback.

We added a new parameter 'footer_text' to the API.
Description: http://pdfcrowd.com/api/#footer_text

At this moment, it is available only through the API but we plan on adding it to the conversion form soon.

It would be very usefull to be able to add html to the footer. Is this possible? If not it would be great if this could be added in.
Thanks

At this moment it is only possible to add text inside a footer using the setFooterText API method. Images are not supported.

Adding html to the footer is the most wanted feature at the moment and we are currently looking into possible options on how to implement it.

We added support for HTML headers and footers last week. In case you would like to try it out, here is a tutorial.
