Insert Page Numbers in a PDF Document
Upload your PDF and page numbers are added exactly where you want them. Choose top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right. Select from standard numbers (1, 2, 3), Roman numerals (i, ii, iii), or custom templates like "Page 1 of 10". Preview the result on your actual pages before applying.
Skip Cover Pages and Start at Any Number
Exclude the first page or first few pages from numbering - common for documents with title pages or tables of contents. Set any starting number: begin at 1, continue from a previous section, or use Roman numerals for front matter and switch to digits for the body.
Add Page Numbers for Double-Sided Printing
Use facing page mode to mirror positions on even and odd pages. Numbers appear on the outside edge - left for even pages, right for odd pages. Standard formatting for books, reports, and any document intended for two-sided printing.
Number Pages After Merging
After combining multiple files with Merge PDF, the page numbers from the originals no longer make sense. Add fresh sequential numbering here to create a clean final document. Then add a watermark or compress if needed.
