How MonuDesk Brands Your PDFs (Powered by MonuDesk footer & page numbers)

The company-name-over-Powered-by-MonuDesk footer and page numbers now on every generated document.

Every PDF MonuDesk generates from an order carries the same branding footer. You don't turn it on anywhere. It's stamped automatically whenever you use the Document Generation menu on an order.

At the bottom of every page, centered, you'll see two lines:

  • Your company name in bold on top.

  • Powered by MonuDesk directly below it.

In the bottom-right corner of each page you'll also see a page number in the form 1/2, 2/2, and so on: the current page over the total page count. A one-page document simply reads 1/1.

Where it appears

The footer is the same on every document type MonuDesk creates, so customers and your shop floor always see consistent, branded paperwork:

  • Quote

  • Invoice

  • Receipt

  • Contract

  • Shop Ticket

  • Purchase Order

  • Foundation Order

This is why the footer mention shows up in each of the "What's on the X PDF" articles. It's one shared piece of branding, not a per-document setting.

Where the company name comes from

The bold name above "Powered by MonuDesk" is pulled from your company profile. If it looks wrong or out of date, update it in Settings → Company Profile and it will be correct on the next document you generate.

Good to know

  • The footer can't be removed from generated PDFs. It's part of how MonuDesk brands your documents.

  • Page numbers count every page in the file. A shop ticket, for example, often runs two pages (details on page 1, drawing on page 2), so its footer reads 1/2 and 2/2.

Your logo on the page

Your logo prints on every document MonuDesk generates: quote, invoice, receipt, contract, shop ticket, purchase order and foundation order. If your company has no logo uploaded anywhere, documents come out exactly as they did before.

There are two places to upload one. Settings → Company Profile holds your company logo, which is used by default. Settings → Office Locations holds a logo per location: open the location you want to brand and use the Logo field. An office's own logo wins over the company logo, and an office with no logo of its own falls back to the company logo. Any image file up to 5MB is accepted.

A Left / Center / Right control sets where the logo lands on the page, with a live mock-document preview showing the result. On the printed page the logo sits inside the same margin as the document text: a Right logo lines up with the right edge of the text block, and a Center logo sits at the exact center of the page. Left placement shifts the document title across to the right.

The preview sits on a grey-and-white checkerboard so you can tell whether the background is see-through. Most logos arrive with a solid white box around them, which prints as a pale rectangle on the page. Click Remove background and MonuDesk erases the white inwards from the edges, leaving closed shapes such as the inside of an O untouched. To swap the image, click the logo thumbnail itself and choose a new file. Download and Delete sit on the same field.
