How to add page numbers to a PDF

Step 1

Open your PDF

Numbering applies to the whole document in one pass.

Step 2

Choose position and format

Any corner or centered, top or bottom, as a bare number, "Page 1", or "1 of 10".

Step 3

Set the start and download

Begin at any number for documents continuing from another file, and skip the first page if it is a cover.

What it handles

What the numbering tool handles

01

Six positions

Any corner or centered, top or bottom.

02

Three formats

A bare number, "Page 1", or "1 of 10".

03

Skip a cover

Leave the first page unnumbered, which is what most reports want.

04

Start anywhere

Begin at any number, for documents that continue from another file.

Getting numbering right first time

Numbering is the last step in almost every document workflow, for a reason.

Number last, always

Merge, delete and reorder first. Numbers are drawn onto pages, so any change to the page order afterwards leaves them wrong.

Skip the cover

Most reports do not number the title page. The skip option leaves it clean and starts the count on the page after.

Continuing a sequence

Splitting a long report into parts? Set the start number on each part so the whole set reads continuously.

Watch the margin

Numbers sit in the page margin. If your document already prints something there, a footer, a reference number, choose a different position.

Questions

Can I start numbering at a number other than 1?

Yes. Set "Start at" to continue a sequence from another document.

Will numbers overlap my content?

They sit in the page margin. If your document already prints something there, choose a different position.

Can I use Roman numerals?

Not yet. The three formats above are what is available.
