How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF
2026-06-18
Page numbers make long documents easy to reference, navigate and print in order. Adding them to a finished PDF takes seconds.
Step by step
- Open the Add Page Numbers tool and add your PDF.
- Choose a position (any corner or center, top or bottom).
- Pick a format — plain numbers or "1 of N" — and a starting number.
- Click Add page numbers and download.
Tips
- Use "bottom center" for reports and "bottom right" for printed booklets.
- Set the starting number higher if your document follows a cover page or a separate section.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a specific page?
Set the starting number to control the first label; combine with Split PDF if you need to renumber only part of a document.
