Long reports, court bundles and theses all need page numbers. Add them in seconds: choose a corner, a format such as “Page 3 of 40”, the starting number, and whether to skip a cover page. Add a prefix for simple Bates-style numbering.
How to add page numbers to a PDF
- Add your PDF.
- Choose position, format and starting number.
- Apply and download the numbered PDF.
Good to know
- Numbers are placed relative to each page’s visible area, so rotated or cropped pages are numbered correctly.
- When skipping cover pages, “of total” counts only the numbered pages.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering at a page other than 1?
Yes. Set “First number” to any value, and use “Skip the first N pages” to leave covers unnumbered.
Can I add Bates numbers?
Use the prefix field (for example ACME-) with a starting number. Zero-padding is applied automatically for prefixed numbers.
Will the numbers be searchable?
Yes, they are real text.
