Add Page Numbers FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
Can I leave the cover page without a number?
Yes. Under “Pages to number”, type a range such as 2-12. The first page in the range gets the first number.
Can numbering start at a number other than 1?
Yes. Set “First number” to any whole number from 0 to 99999, for example to continue from another document.
Are the numbers real text?
Yes. They are added as text in a standard font, so they print sharply and can be searched and copied.
Which number formats and positions can I use?
Four formats: 1, Page 1, Page 1 of 9 and 1 / 9. Six positions: top or bottom, each on the left, center or right. The total after “of” is the number on the last numbered page.
Supported files and current limitations
Works with ordinary, unlocked PDFs. PDFs with fillable form fields or signature permissions are refused rather than changed. Password-protected and damaged files are refused too.
Your PDF is edited directly instead of being rebuilt, so bookmarks, links, attachments and accessibility tags stay in the new file.
Numbers use the standard Helvetica font in dark gray. In a PDF with accessibility tags, the added numbers are not tagged.
Processing stays on your device with no cloud fallback. Very large files can exceed your device’s memory. Your original files are never changed.
