## ![(blue star)](/files/42399de1a41dacd09fbbc0d1891cf4b0f5acd188) Instructions

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Enter the headers that you want for the main template in the “header” and "header on remaining pages" section. Ensure that “Use first page header for all pages” is unchecked.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Create another PDF template that can be named anything but for this example it will be called `pdfheader` (this should be a PDF template, not a component).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Keep the body section of the `pdfheader` template blank but add what you want to show for the header on the following pages of the main template in `pdfheader`'s "header on remaining pages" section.

If you want this to be blank you can add this HTML into that section's source code:

```
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
You can call the new header when needed at the start of its corresponding page in the main template like this:

```
```

This should overwrite the current header and replace it with the new one.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to create a different PDF template for each header that needs to be called.
{% endhint %}
