Why use this tool

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes - set any starting number, which is useful when this PDF is a continuation of another document.

Where can the page numbers be placed?

Choose bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right of each page.

Will this replace page numbers my PDF already has?

This tool adds a new page number on top of the page; if your PDF already has numbers printed as part of its content, you'll see both unless you remove the original ones first.
