How do I shut off the .pdf footers?

August 2, 2006 2:07 PM

When converting HTML pages to Acrobat files using Adobe Acrobat Standard, it automatically puts the URL of the page in a footer on each page of the created .pdf. How do I stop it from doing this?

File → Create PDF from Web page → Settings → uncheck header/footers option.

But that’s in Pro. Don’t have Standard to test with. (Do select the tagging option.)

Thanks joeclark. That does indeed work. BUT, I'm creating the .pdfs from a few hundred html files saved locally on my hard drive. Doing it the way you've taught me does work, but requires that I do each file one at a time (can't select more than one file when prompted for source). If I do it via file --> create .pdf --> from file, I can do multiple files at once. Any way to get rid of the footers doing it this way?

Is Acrobat doing it, or the browser?

No browser open at the time. I'm doing it through Acrobat.

You can, of course, crop the top and the bottom from each page in a multi-page PDF file and get rid of them that way.

I think you’re stuck with cropping, which can be applied document-wide.
