If you want to add HTML to the header, you need to implement a workaround and also adapt the footer, unfortunately. Follow these steps to add an HTML header AND a page indicator in the footer:

• Create two HTML files: one for the header, one for the footer
• I have attached examples for both HTML files. The footer HTML file shows the page numbers. Adapt the header HTML file to your liking
• Upload both HTML files inside your application (in the section ‘Assets’)
• Adapt your PDF config object, so that you use the parameters ‘header-html’/’footer-html’ instead of ‘header-center’/’footer-center’. In these parameters, you need to specifiy the path to the location where the HTML files are stored on the appserver. For example, in my case, my app is called ‘test_JH’, so the paths are like that:

  {
  "header-html": "/opt/simplifier/data/storage/appDirect/test_JH/data/header.html",
  "footer-html": "/opt/simplifier/data/storage/appDirect/test_JH/data/footer.html"
  }

  Caution, the paths may vary depending on your instance setup. You can ask an administrator to get you the correct paths if you do not have access to the server.

• Deploy your app and test the PDF. You should now see the PDF file with the header/footer HTML

I know this process is quite cumbersome. I have created a ticket so that hopefully in the future, the PDF config and the header section can be used together.
