How to use PDF Page Number Adder

Add page numbers with a live preview before download. Choose the placement, number format, starting page, font, style, colour and margins.

How it works

  1. Select a PDF file.
  2. Choose one of six positions and a number format.
  3. Set optional prefix, suffix, start page and appearance settings.
  4. Check the preview and download the numbered PDF.

Supported options

  • Six top or bottom page positions
  • Five number formats including Page 1 of 10
  • Prefix, suffix, first-number and cover-page skip controls
  • Helvetica, Times or Courier; style, size, colour and margins

Practical tips

  • Use the preview to check that a footer will not cover existing content.
  • Increase margins when a PDF already has content close to the edge.
  • Use a prefix and suffix only when they help identify the document.
