Paper Canva — Footer tab

Page numbers plus left/center/right footer sections and copyright, with template variable support.

What the Footer tab does

The Footer tab sets what prints at the bottom of every page: an optional "Page X of Y" counter, three free-text sections (left / center / right) and an optional copyright line. The three section fields and the copyright accept template variables that auto-fill at render time: {{instituteName}}, {{subject}}, {{examName}}, {{grade}}.

The Footer ribbon

Footer controls

Toggles page numbers in the footer. When enabled (highlighted), shows "Page X of Y" at the bottom of each page. The button label switches between "Page On" and "Page Off".

Free-text input for the footer's left section. Defaults to {{instituteName}}. Supports template variables. Width ~130px.

Free-text input for the footer's center section. Placeholder {{examName}}. Supports template variables.

Free-text input for the footer's right section. Defaults to {{subject}}. Supports template variables.

Optional copyright line printed below the footer (e.g. "© 2026 ABC School"). Leave empty to hide it. Placeholder "© 2026 School".

Common tasks

Set Left to {{instituteName}} and Right to {{subject}} so each prints the live value.

Put {{examName}} in the Center section.

Turn Page On for multi-page papers and add a Copyright line if required.

Mix literal text and variables freely, e.g. {{instituteName}} — {{grade}}. Unknown variables print as-is, so double-check the spelling of {{...}} tokens.
