Headers and footers

Headers and/or footers have the role Default in axesWord. This means that the headers and footers are marked as artifacts (and therefore do not appear in the structure tree of the PDF document). However, this can be changed in the context-sensitive task pane axesWord - Role Mapping:

  • Select role Section Header if the header or footer shall appear in the structure tree at the beginning of the respective Word section.
  • Select role Section Trailer if the header or footer shall appear in the structure tree at the end of the respective Word section.
  • With the role Artifact, the headers or footers are always treated as decorative elements.

Note:

The role mapping can be defined separately for each section in your Word document.
