Add header and footer text and page numbers to your document. Select from a variety of positioning and formatting options. A preview displays the location of each on the page based on the currently selected options. You cannot have header/footer text and page numbers in the same position. Apply headers, footers, and page numbers all at once, or separately to allow for different formatting options for each, such as fonts and page ranges.

PDFpen allows you to Undo edits made to your document.

To help you align objects on a page go to Arrange > Show Grid or Arrange > Snap to Grid. Set the spacing of the grid in Preferences > General.
