Anyway to Create Headers and Footers Such That They Can't Be Selected

Blaineoreski · Today, 03:06 AM

Hi!

Often times I'll be copying across a pagebreaks in PDF. I generate headers and footers from the GUI, EPUB >> PDF, with this:

<header style="justify-content: flex-end; color: gray; font-size: small;padding-top: 20px;"><div class="odd-page"><i>_SECTION_</i></div></header>
<p style="text-align:center; color: gray; font-size: small"> _PAGENUM_</p>

When you drag the select across the pagebreak you'll get all those details in the selection.

Anyway to suppress that? Such that the headers and footers are NON-selectable?

I've got PDF X-change editor, so if there are any tools there you can think of, that'd work, too. But, question is - in going from Epub to PDF - any way to set the headers and footers into the page so they can't be copied?

Thanks!

No as far as I know there is no way to make text in a pdf not copyable, regardless of its location.
