Choose top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center or bottom-right placement and enter the starting number you want for the first page.
How to add page numbers to a PDF
Upload your PDF, choose where the page numbers should appear, enter the starting number, select Add Page Numbers, and download the finished document.
Insert page numbers at the top or bottom
The tool supports top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center and bottom-right placement. Choose the position that fits the existing page layout best.
Start PDF page numbering from a custom number
Page numbering does not have to begin at 1. Enter another starting value when the PDF is part of a larger report, appendix, chapter or document set.
Add numbers to every PDF page
The current tool applies sequential page numbers across the entire PDF, beginning with the starting number you choose.
Number PDF pages after organizing the document
For cleaner results, first use Merge PDF, Reorder PDF Pages or Remove PDF Pages. Add page numbers after the final page sequence is set.
Page numbers vs headers and footers
Use this tool for simple sequential numbering. If you also need repeated document names, labels, dates or other text, use Add Header & Footer.
Will page numbering move existing content?
No. The page number is overlaid on the existing PDF page rather than rebuilding the document layout.
Review the numbered PDF
Check that the page numbers do not overlap existing text, signatures, stamps or important margin content before sharing or printing the finished file.
