How to add PDF page numbers

  1. Attach the PDF and select the pages to number.
  2. Choose a position, font, size, color and starting number.
  3. Review the preview and download the numbered PDF.

Numbering a PDF with a cover page

If the cover should remain unnumbered, start the selected range on page two. You can still make the first visible number “1,” or continue numbering from another document section.

Readable placement

Use a margin and position that do not overlap existing footers, signatures or crop marks. Check pages with tables or full-bleed images before downloading.

PDF page-number questions

Can I number only part of a PDF?

Yes. Use the page-range setting to number a chapter or selected section rather than every page.

Can I control the number position?

Yes. Choose common header and footer positions and adjust the visual style before applying.
