If you need to add page numbers over each page of a PDF document in Linux keep reading. Actually using this method you will be able to add any kind of content that changes sequentially or by page to a PDF document. By content I mean header, footer and/or watermark. It can be text and/or graphics. I will use cross-platform and free software so you may want to try this on Windows too. I will be using only GUI software:
Scribus,
PDF Chain (the GUI to
pdftk) and
GIMP. You can install these on Ubuntu with:
sudo apt-get install scribus pdftk pdfchain gimp
First of all you need to gather some information about the document you want to add content to. Using your favorite PDF reader or any other PDF information software find out the
number of pages and their
size. In order to know where to place headers/footers pick a content representative page from the PDF document that you will later use as a template to avoid overlaying header/footer with document contents.
