Change the year in a thesis PDF
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Roll a document over to the new year: update the year in headers, footers, dates and copyright lines.

What people change in a thesis
- • Typos and small corrections
- • Page numbers from the first chapter
- • Signed approval page
- • File size for the repository
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.
