Steps to number a PDF
- Open the Add Page Numbers tool.
- Choose your PDF file.
- Number position: pick where the number goes, for example bottom centre or top right.
- Number format: choose the style you want (see the list below).
- Press the button and download your numbered PDF.
The file is handled in your browser, so your document is not sent to a server.
Formats you can choose
- Plain numbers: 1, 2, 3
- With a word: Page 1, Page 2
- With a total: 1 of 10, or Page 1 of 10
- Slash style: 1 / 10
- With dashes: - 1 -
- Roman numerals: i, ii, iii or I, II, III
- Custom text of your own
Looks and spacing
You can change the font size, the margin from the edge, the font (sans, serif or mono) and the number colour. A small grey number at the bottom centre suits most documents.
