Fine.. but is there a simple way of marking them as artifacts rather than using the touch up tool and marking each individual header and footer as background, as this is a 50 page document that makes 100 items to be marked.


As when I run the Adobe checker on it they are highlighted as inaccessible page content and I want my .pdf documents to fully pass the checker.

Option B, should I just remove the headers and footers from the original source document. They only contain date, page number, reference, org. name etc.
