First of all, please note that there is no such header footer in PDF documents. Header/Footer are only defined or specified at the time of PDF generation and once PDF is generated, they become part of the PDF just like rest of the content. In other words, there is no way to distinguish header footer from rest of the content in an existing PDF.

One workaround (cannot be reliable) could be to extract tables and then check their rectangles. Those tables that have LLY closer to the page height can be considered as header table and the tables with minimum LLY value would be footer ones.
