Add page numbers to PDF documents

Stamp page numbers onto every page of a PDF document. Choose from six positions, four number formats, and custom font sizes. Optionally skip the cover page and set the starting number.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start page numbering from a specific number?
Yes — use the 'Start numbering from' field to begin at any number. For example, start from 3 if the first two pages are unnumbered front matter.
Can I skip numbering the first page?
Yes — enable 'Skip first page' to leave the cover or title page unnumbered while numbering all subsequent pages.
What page number formats are available?
Four formats: simple numbers (1, 2, 3), 'Page 1', 'Page 1 of 10' (shows total), and '1 / 10'. All use Helvetica font embedded in the PDF for universal compatibility.
