About the Add Page Numbers to PDF
PDF Page Numbers adds numbers to every page of a PDF. Choose the position (bottom or top; left, centre or right), the starting number and the format: 1, 2, 3, "Page 1", or "1 of N".
The numbers are drawn on top of each page at a fixed margin, so check that they do not overlap your content. The starting number is useful when the PDF is part of a larger document, for example starting at 5 for an appendix. The result is a new file, and the original text remains selectable.
How to use it
- Upload a PDF.
- Select the position and format.
- Set the starting number.
- Press Add page numbers & download.
Tips and good to know
- Choose bottom centre for most documents.
- Use "1 of N" for printed packs so missing pages are obvious.
- Check the cover page; you may prefer to start numbering after it.
