Page Numbers

What this tool does

Prints page numbers onto a document. Three formats are available: the bare number, the number with the total (1 / 12), or Page 1. The number sits in one of six spots — left, center or right, along the top or the bottom edge — and you set its size, the number to start from, and which pages get one.

How to use it

1. Drop the PDF.
2. Choose the format and the spot on the page.
3. Set the size and the starting number; leave page one blank if it is a cover.
4. Narrow down which pages get numbered if you need to, then download the file.

Common questions

I do not want a number on the cover.

Turn on Leave the first page blank. Numbering then begins on page two, and the starting number goes to that page.

Do the numbers have to start at 1?

No. Type any starting number and the first numbered page takes it.

Is the number real text or an image?

Real text. It stays selectable and searchable, and the file barely grows.
