## FAQ

### Can I add different headers on odd and even pages?

Yes. You can configure separate headers and footers for odd and even pages.

### Does this preserve bookmarks and form fields?

Yes. Bookmarks, annotations, and form fields stay where they were — only the header/footer regions are touched.

### What PDF versions are supported?

PDF 1.0 through 2.0 are accepted. Output keeps the input version unless the input is older than 1.4, which gets bumped to 1.4 for stamp positioning.
