Hi, it seems to be a problem in TikZ. Anyway, if you just want vertical lines, you need no package at all. you can do it just by \vrule in your footer:
\makeatletter % allow @ in the macro names \def\ps@mystyle{% definition of the page style \def\@oddhead{\normalfont \normalsize \hfill \thepage}% \def\@evenhead{\normalfont \normalsize \thepage \hfill}% \def\@oddfoot{\vbox to 0pt{% zero height vertical box \hskip -20mm % negative, to make it wider that the text width \color{red}\VR \hskip 2pt \VR \hfill \VR \hskip 2pt \VR \hskip -20mm}% \let\@evenfoot\@oddfoot} \makeatother % @ no longer allowed % Define the vertical rule (in order to have the dimensions at one place) \def\VR{\vrule width 2pt height 200mm depth 0mm} % Set the page style \pagestyle{mystyle} If you need more complex graphics, you can use PDF primitives. You can see this article: http://bulletin.cstug.cz/doi.php/10.5300/2013-1/13 It is written in Czech but you can see what can be done. I have not tried my solution, I just typed it but I hope I have not made a mistake. You should only modify the dimensions.
