Custom Header and Footers
One of the advantages of selecting this format over the traditional PDF format is the ability to customize the footer and header depending on the Page Styles in the Style Designer. Please keep in mind that this will only be available per ePublisher Designer as the Style Designer is not available in ePublisher Express.
To customize the Header or Footer
1. In ePublisher Designer, go to the Style Designer -> Page Styles
2. Select the Page Style that you have defined and click the Options tab
3. Depending on where you would like to have your information you can enter in information for Even or Odd pages
4. Chose to Enable or Disable Header and Footer text under the Generate Output option
5. Chose from the following Variables to customize the content
$Title;
This variable expands to the title of the PDF. For the document-level PDF, this value is the title of the document or the value of the first paragraph. For the group-level PDF, this value is the name of the Group. For the project-level PDF, this value is the name of the Target
$PageNumber;
This variable expands to the current page number
$RunningTitle;
This variable expands to the text of the last paragraph in the flow of the document which generated a TOC entry
$ChapterTitle;
This variable expands to the text of the top-most TOC entry of the document.
