How to set header and footer in the PDF/Excel/Word exported page?

You can set the header and footer in PDF, Excel, and Word exported documents by using the following events:

• ExportPDF for PDF.
• ExportExcel for Excel.
• ExportWord for Word.

In the ExportPDF event, properties are written under the PDFExportSettings class. To display header and footer in the exported document, the properties ShowPDFHeader and ShowPDFFooter should be set to true. The header and footer text can be set by using the PDFHeaderText and PDFFooterText properties, respectively. In addition to this, PDFHeaderDescription property helps you to set the description of the header.

In the ExportExcel event, properties are written under the PageSetup class. The properties, CenterHeader and CenterFooter allow you to set the header and footer in the middle of a page. Likewise, the properties, LeftHeader, LeftFooter, RightHeader, and RightFooter allow the user to set the header and footer in the left or right side of a page.
