How to number a PDF

1. Drop the PDF. 2. Choose the position (bottom center is the classic choice), the format and the first number. 3. Press “Add page numbers” and download.

Quality

The numbers are added as real text with pdf-lib. Nothing is re-printed or re-compressed, so the file looks exactly like the original plus the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start at a number other than 1?

Yes. Set “Start at” to any number. This is useful when the PDF is a chapter of a larger document.

Can I skip the cover?

Yes. Tick “Don't number the first page” and numbering starts on page 2.
