How It Works
Obsidian 1.12.4 exports PDFs from a hidden popup window rather than the main note view. This plugin patches that popup's print flow so it can inject page-number header/footer options at export time.
The plugin also keeps a DOM-based fallback for Obsidian print views, but the primary path is the hidden export popup used by the built-in PDF dialog.
