Change the year in an employee handbook PDF
Handbooks need small, careful updates: a new holiday, a changed contact, a revised policy line. Make them in the PDF and keep a precise record of the changes. Roll a document over to the new year: update the year in headers, footers, dates and copyright lines.

What people change in an employee handbook
- • Policy wording
- • HR contacts
- • Holiday list
- • Effective date and version
- • Office addresses
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Repeated headers and footers are separate text on each page, so edit each page's copy.
- • Tabular digits keep columns of years lined up.
Publish a change log
Compare the new handbook with the previous version and share the result so staff see exactly what changed.
Mark drafts
Watermark drafts while they're under review, and remove the watermark by exporting from the unwatermarked copy.
