About this tool
Reports, contracts and merged bundles are much easier to discuss when every page has a number. This tool prints the number straight onto the page in a clean standard font, and it copes with pages that are rotated.
A common workflow is to merge your files first and number the result, so the sequence runs through the whole bundle. Use the "only these pages" box to skip a cover page, for example by entering 2-40.
Good to know
- Numbers are added as normal page content. They cannot be edited later except in a PDF editor.
- Only Latin digits and letters are used.
- Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.
Add Page Numbers: frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a different number?
Yes. Set "Start numbering at" to any number, for example 0 to leave a cover page as page 0 or 5 for a document that continues an earlier one.
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Enter a range such as 2-20 in "Only these pages" and the first page stays clean.
Can I get "Page 3 of 12" style numbering?
Yes. Choose the "1 of 10" style. It counts the total for the pages being numbered.
