About this tool

Numbers are added as real text on each page, in the position, format, size and colour you choose. "Page 1 of 10" counts the total automatically. Skip the cover page or start counting from any number, useful when a document continues another one.

Existing content is not changed; the numbers are drawn on top in a standard font that every PDF reader supports.

Good to know

  • Numbers use the standard Helvetica font.
  • If a page already has content at that spot, the number may overlap it. Try another position.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave the cover page without a number?

Yes. Tick "Skip the first page". Numbering then starts on page 2.
