Ensure the footer (filename) doesn't mix with document text. #403

I am using PDFsam to merge documents in order to copy/paste invoice text in bulk. I need to use the PDFsam facility of adding the filename as a footer to create a predictable demarcation text between pages and documents. As things are, the filename mixes with low-riding text (e.g. "small print"/"terms and conditions") in about 5-10% of cases; which creates a manual task for me to edit the outputted data strings

Here's an example of how and where the footer (highlighted in yellow) can appear: image

Hi, this issue remains my no1 pain in the proverbial. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Any hope for development in this area? Thanks Sometimes the PDFsam footer text just mashes with pre-existing footer text e.g. small print disclaimers etc
