How to stop a sticky header repeating on every PDF page
Many sites pin a header, a navigation bar or a consent banner to the viewport so it follows you as you scroll. During conversion that pinned element can be redrawn at the top of every single page, eating vertical space across the whole document. Hide sticky elements removes them before conversion and leaves the rest of the page intact.
Takes about 1 min
Steps
Open the extension popup
On the page you want to convert.
Enable "Hide sticky elements"
This strips elements the page has pinned to the viewport.
Convert and check the result
The repeated band at the top of each page should be gone.
Fall back to Remove Elements if something survives
Unusual implementations occasionally aren't caught by the toggle. Use Remove Elements and click the offending bar directly.
Worth knowing
- This is worth doing on any long page. Removing a tall header from a twenty-page document can drop it by several pages, and the pages you save were pure furniture.
- It only removes elements the page pins to the viewport. A normal header that scrolls away with the content appears once, at the top, which is usually what you want.
Questions
Why is there a big empty band at the top of every page of my PDF?
Almost always a sticky or fixed-position element — a nav bar, cookie banner or chat widget — being redrawn at the top of each sheet. Turn on "Hide sticky elements", or use Remove Elements to delete it directly.
