Add Page Numbers to a PDF

Assignments, reports and legal bundles are far easier to discuss when everyone can refer to a page number. Documents assembled from several sources usually lose their numbering along the way. This tool adds clean, consistent numbers to every page of your PDF, letting you choose where they sit and which number to start from.

Frequently asked questions

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. Choosing a different starting number lets you leave a cover or title page out of the count.

Where are the numbers placed?

You choose the position, so they can sit at the bottom centre, a corner or wherever your format requires.

Will numbering cover my text?

Numbers are placed in the page margin so they sit clear of the content.

Is there a limit on pages?

Normal documents are handled easily. Very long files simply take a little longer.
