All about Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add page numbers to any PDF in seconds. Choose whether the number goes at the bottom or the top, in the center or in a corner, with the format “1, 2, 3” or “1 / 10”, and which number to start from. You can also leave the cover page unnumbered. It's ideal for papers, theses, reports and contracts that need to be cited by page. The original content of the PDF is not modified: only the number is added.

Technical details of page numbering

Respects orientation

The number is placed in the correct corner and reads horizontally even on rotated or landscape pages.

Proportional size

The font size and margin adjust to the size of each page, so the number looks right on Letter, A4 or large formats.

Content untouched

The text, images and links in the PDF are not modified; the number is simply added on top of each page.

When should you number a PDF?

Page numbers make documents easier to read, print and cite:

✓

Papers and theses: meet formatting guidelines that require numbered pages.

✓

Contracts and legal documents: refer to clauses and exhibits by page number.

✓

Reports and printed presentations: keep the sheets from getting out of order.

✓

Merged documents: after combining several PDFs, number the result so it has continuous pagination.

Tips for numbering your PDF

💡

If the document has a cover page, check the option to skip it: numbering will start on the second page.

💡

Use the “1 / 10” format on documents you print, so you can tell if a sheet is missing.

💡

If your PDF has rotated pages, fix them first with Rotate PDF so everything looks consistent.

💡

If you're going to combine several files, merge them first with Merge PDF and number at the end.
