Why number a PDF
Page numbers make a long document easier to navigate, reference in meetings, and cite accurately — useful for reports, theses, contracts, and any document likely to be printed or discussed page by page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a page other than the first?
This tool numbers every page starting from the first, but you can set the starting number itself — for example, starting at "0" if your cover page shouldn't count as page 1.
Will this replace existing page numbers already in the document?
No — this adds a new number to each page rather than detecting or replacing existing printed numbers. If your document already has numbers in the same position, they may overlap.
