Add page numbers to a PDF

Place page numbers at the top or bottom of the document, choose left, center or right alignment, set the starting number and adjust number size. The result is created locally in your browser.

Flexible numbering

Starting from a custom number is useful when the PDF is one section of a larger document or when printed pages need to continue an existing sequence.

Add clear page numbers to long PDF documents

Page numbers make reports, manuals, proposals and scanned packets easier to reference. They are especially useful when people need to discuss a specific page or print a document in sections.

Choose a position that does not cover existing footers or important content. After numbering, review the first and last pages to confirm the sequence and make sure the placement stays consistent throughout the file.

Numbering is also helpful when several PDFs are combined into one package because reviewers can reference a stable page sequence. If the document already contains printed numbers, choose a position that avoids creating two competing page-number systems.

For appendices or cover pages, decide whether numbering should begin on the first physical page or the first content page before exporting the final document.
