About the Add Page Numbers to PDF
Page numbers make long documents much easier to navigate, reference and print. The Add Page Numbers to PDF tool numbers every page of your document in the style you prefer.
Place numbers at the top or bottom, aligned left, center or right, and choose a format like 1, Page 1, Page 1 of 10, 1 / 10 or - 1 -. You can skip the first pages (for example a cover and table of contents), start counting from any number, and adjust font size, color and margin. It is ideal for theses, reports, e-books, legal bundles and merged documents.
