About Add Page Numbers
Add numbering with a custom starting value, prefix, position, and font size while keeping the source file untouched.
Add Page Numbers writes a sequential label onto every page, with configurable starting value, prefix, position, and font size. Existing page content remains in place beneath the new label.
How to use it
- Choose the PDF whose pages you want to number.
- Set the label position, first number, optional prefix, and font size.
- Add the labels and download the numbered copy.
Common use cases
- Number an assembled report before distribution.
- Add a page prefix to exported records or appendices.
- Make printed review comments easier to reference.
Worked example
Add “Page 1” through “Page 24” at the bottom center of a report.
Limitations and responsible use
- Numbers are drawn over existing content and do not automatically reserve margin space.
- Complex page rotations or unusual crop boxes may affect visual placement.
- Adding content invalidates existing cryptographic signatures.
Frequently asked questions
Can numbering start at zero or another value?
