Add page numbers to PDF

Number the pages of any PDF in seconds

The page numbers tool adds neat numbering to your document. Choose where the numbers sit on the page, pick the size and style, and decide how they should be written, whether that is a plain number or something like Page 3 of 20.

Numbered pages make a document easier to work with. People can point to a page in a meeting, printed copies can be put back in order, and a reader always knows how much is left to go. It takes one pass and the numbering runs correctly to the last page.

What this tool gives you

Questions people ask

Yes. Set the numbering to begin on the page you choose, so a cover or title page can stay clean.

The new numbers are added on top, so you would see two sets. Put yours in a different corner, or use the original file that has none.

They sit in the page margin, so on most documents there is plenty of empty space. If your layout is tight, move them to another position.

Merge first, then number. That way the count runs straight through the finished document instead of restarting at each part.
