What is Add Page Numbers?
Add Page Numbers stamps a page number on the pages of a PDF. You choose the position on a 3-by-3 grid, the margin, the starting number and which pages are numbered, so you can match a document's required style.
Common uses
- Reports and theses. Number pages of a long document before submitting.
- Legal and contract bundles. Make references like "page 12 of 40" easy.
- Combined files. Add continuous numbering after merging several PDFs.
- Print packs. Make sure printed pages can be put back in order.

Tips for best results
- Use a format like "Page {n} of {total}" for formal documents.
- Start numbering after a cover page by setting the from-page.
- Merge files first, then number, so the sequence is continuous.
- Pick a margin that keeps numbers clear of binding or print edges.
