📄

Structured Headers & Footers

Declarative configuration with zones (left, center, right) and typed elements — no raw HTML required.

🎨

Custom Variables

Use front matter fields as placeholders in headers and footers. Add company name, version, author, and more.

📅

Date Formatting

Format dates with date-fns patterns. Support for ISO, US, EU, and custom formats.

🖼️

Image Embedding

Embed logos and images (SVG, PNG, JPG) directly in headers and footers as base64 data URIs.

⚡

Zero Configuration

Works out of the box with sensible defaults. Chromium installs automatically on first use.

🔧

Per-Document Overrides

Override any setting via YAML front matter. Perfect for different document types in the same project.

Quick Example

Add a structured header and footer to your Markdown document:

yaml

---
title: Project Report
author: Jane Smith
company: Acme Corp
pdf:
  header:
    height: 15mm
    left_text: "{company}"
    center_text: "{title}"
    right_text: "{date:MMMM d, yyyy}"
  footer:
    height: 10mm
    center_text: "Page {page} of {pages}"
---

Then ask Zed's AI assistant:

Export this file to PDF

That's it! The PDF will have a professional header with your company name, document title, and formatted date.
