How to add page numbers to a PDF

  1. Select your PDF or drag it into the file area.
  2. Choose where the numbers appear: top or bottom, aligned left, center or right.
  3. Open More settings to set the starting page, starting number, font size, color or number format.
  4. Click Apply changes, then download your numbered PDF.

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. In More settings, set the starting page to 2 and the starting number to 1. The cover stays unnumbered and the second page receives number 1. You can choose a later starting page for documents with several introductory pages.

Can I use “Page 1 of 10” numbering?

Enter Page {num} of {tot} in the number format field. Use {num} for the page number or {num} / {tot} for a compact format. The total is the number of pages in the PDF, including pages before the starting page.

Should I arrange the pages before numbering?

For consecutive numbering across several documents, merge your PDFs first. You can also reorder pages or insert blank pages before adding the numbers.
