Write a multi-page report with headers, footers and page numbers
A long report needs structure: a title that repeats at the top of every page, a footer that holds the page number, and clean breaks where one page ends and the next begins. SlimDoc gives you real A4 pages that paginate as you type, headers and footers pinned to every page, and an automatic "Page X of Y" counter. It all runs in your browser — your report is never uploaded, and there's no account or watermark.
Why SlimDoc for report
Headers and footers that repeat on every page
Pin a header and a footer to the page edge and they show up on every page automatically. Each gets its own margin, padding and background, so your report title can sit up top and your page count down below — no copy-pasting per page.
Automatic Page X of Y
Insert a page-number token into the header or footer and SlimDoc keeps the count current as the report grows. Choose continuous numbering across the whole file, or restart it per section when you add an appendix.
Real pages, so the PDF matches what you see
SlimDoc lays out true A4 pages and breaks them as you type. Switch to Preview for a clean print view, then export to PDF — headers, footers, page numbers and backgrounds all resolve faithfully, with nothing uploaded to a server.
What you can do
- Live pagination across many A4 pages with automatic page breaks
- Repeating headers and footers, each with its own margin, padding and background
- Automatic "Page X of Y" — continuous or restart per section
- Tables and inline images that travel inside the file
- Faithful one-click Print / Export to PDF via the browser
- Saves one self-contained .html file that re-opens straight into the editor
How to make it
Set up the page and write your sections
Open the editor and start typing. Use H1–H4 headings, lists, blockquotes, tables and inline images to structure the report. Pages break automatically as you fill them, so you always see real A4 layout.
Add a header and footer
Add a header for your report title and a footer for the page number. Style each one — set its own margin, padding and background — and it repeats on every page.
Insert page numbers and export
Drop a "Page X of Y" token into the header or footer and pick continuous or per-section numbering. Switch to Preview, then Print / Export to PDF for a print-perfect file.
Frequently asked
How do I add page numbers to a multi-page report?
Add a header or footer, then insert a page-number token — either "Page X of Y" or just "X". SlimDoc keeps the count accurate as the report grows. You can number continuously across the whole file or restart numbering per section.
Will the header and footer appear on every page?
Yes. A header or footer is pinned to the page edge and repeats on every page automatically. Each has its own independent margin, padding and background, so you can style them separately from the body.
Is my report uploaded anywhere?
No. SlimDoc runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and it works offline. Your report stays on your device the whole time.
Can I include tables and images in the report?
Yes. Insert tables with drag-resizable columns, a header row and per-cell editing, and add images from your device. Images are embedded inline, so they travel inside the saved file rather than linking out.
What format does SlimDoc save in, and will the PDF look right?
SlimDoc saves one self-contained .html file with all styling inlined — it opens and prints correctly in any browser and re-opens straight back into the editor. Export to PDF uses the browser's native print dialog, and the output is faithful: headers, footers, page numbers and backgrounds all resolve.
Can I keep an appendix in the same file with its own page numbers?
Yes. Bundle several documents as named sections in one file — for example a main report plus an appendix. You can jump between them, rename or delete them, and give each section its own page numbering.
