Browser-basedWhat this tool does
Add visible page numbers to all pages or a chosen range. Pick the starting number, font size, and footer position before creating a new browser-local PDF.
Numbers are drawn as new page content, so they can cover existing footer material if the margin is crowded.
What you can do with this tool
Leave the cover unnumbered and display 1 through 11 on the remaining pages.
What to check before relying on the result
- Page numbers are drawn in the footer and can overlap existing content.
- Editing page content invalidates existing digital signatures.
How to use
- 1
Choose a PDF and select all pages or enter a range.
- 2
Pick left, center, or right footer placement.
- 3
Set the first visible number and font size.
- 4
Download and check that numbers do not overlap existing content.
Use Cases
Add one footer sequence after merging documents from several contributors.
Start the selected range at page 2 while displaying 1 on that first numbered page.
FAQ
Can numbering start at a value other than 1?
Yes. Set any non-negative starting number for the first selected page.
Do unselected pages affect the sequence?
No. Only selected pages receive numbers and the sequence advances across those selected positions.
Will this preserve signed PDFs?
Changing page content invalidates existing digital signatures. Work from an unsigned copy when signature validity matters.
