Scrlttr2 pagenumbers in header or footer on all pages (including the first one)

header-footerkoma-scriptpage-numberingscrlttr2

I am trying to combine a nice footer on all pages with pagenumbers on all pages. I have firsthead=off since I need a logo in the place of the back address. If I remove \chead*{\pagemark} from the first link and add \pagemark to \setkomavar{firstfoot} I get the pagenumer next to the footer like that:

but I would like it to have it in this position

The footer can take more space on the button if needed to. Also it is ok if the pagenumbers are on the top, like in the first example. Here is my code so far:

\documentclass[
fontsize=11pt, 
version=last, 
fromalign=left, 
backaddress=true, 
foldmarks=on, 
fromphone=off, 
fromemail=off, 
parskip=half, 
firsthead=off]{scrlttr2}

To get a centered page number below the tables add:

\par\centering\pagemark\par

after the parbox containing the third table, but inside the outer parbox.

Example:

\documentclass[

  parskip=half, 
  firsthead=off

\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text

I have removed options which are not needed in the example. Package inputenc with option utf8 is only needed with outdated TeX distributions. The tikz and eso-pic code is replaced by a new layer for all layer page styles (@everystyle@).

[Tex/LaTex] Exam class: Header on odd pages – including first – footer on all

You can use the \oddeven command. That command takes two arguments; the first is used on odd numbered pages and the second is used on even numbered pages. Thus, you'd use something like

  \newcommand{\myleft}{\makebox[.5\textwidth][l]{Name:\enspace\hrulefill}}
  \newcommand{\myright}{\makebox[.25\textwidth][r]{Date:\enspace\hrulefill}}
  \header{\oddeven{\myleft}{\hfill}}
         {\hfill}
         {\oddeven{\myright}{\hfill}}

Edit: Actually, all those \hfill's are unnecessary; you can just use

\newcommand{\myleft}{\makebox[.5\textwidth]{Name:\enspace\hrulefill}}
\newcommand{\myright}{\makebox[.25\textwidth]{Date:\enspace\hrulefill}}
\header{\oddeven{\myleft}{}}
       {}
       {\oddeven{\myright}{}}

Edit: Here are two complete LaTeX files, both of which work when I test them. The first uses \lhead, \rhead, etc., and the second uses \header.

\documentclass{exam}

\newcommand{\myleft}{\makebox[.5\textwidth]{Name:\enspace\hrulefill}}
\newcommand{\myright}{\makebox[.25\textwidth]{Date:\enspace\hrulefill}}

\lhead{\oddeven{\myleft}{}}
\rhead{\oddeven{\myright}{}}

\footrule
\lfoot{Test 1: Ch 1.5 through 3.4}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{Page \thepage\ of \numpages}

\begin{document}

Here's the first page.
\newpage

Here's the second page.
\newpage

Here's the third page.
\newpage

Here's the fourth page.
\newpage

\end{document}

Here's the second LaTeX file:

\documentclass{exam}

\newcommand{\myleft}{\makebox[.5\textwidth]{Name:\enspace\hrulefill}}
\newcommand{\myright}{\makebox[.25\textwidth]{Date:\enspace\hrulefill}}
\header{\oddeven{\myleft}{}}
       {}
       {\oddeven{\myright}{}}

\footrule

\footer{Test 1: Ch 1.5 through 3.4}
       {}
       {Page \thepage\ of \numpages}

[Tex/LaTex] scrlttr2 : header and footer on every page does not appear correctly

Use scrpage2 package instead of \nexthead or \nextfoot to solve the problem.

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead{\headbox}
\ofoot{\footbox}

Head height can be adjusted with the following command;

\setlength{\headsep}{4.5cm}

Whereas text height is adjusted in case the text overlaps the footer with following command;

\setlength{\textheight}{8in}

Modified Code;

\documentclass[
