Add Page Numbers to a PDF

Put page numbers on a PDF that does not have them — with control over where they sit, what number to start at, and how they are written.

How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

1. Open the PDF — Drop in the document to number.
2. Set the numbering — Pick the corner, the starting number and the format.
3. Download — Save the numbered document.

When this comes in useful

• Numbering a bundle assembled from several sources
• Starting at a number other than one, because the front matter is separate
• Preparing a document for a court or tender submission
