The tool adds plain page numbers to a PDF document. You can choose the position of the digits on the sheet, set a starting value for the numbering, change the font size and color, and specify the exact pages where the numbers should appear. The output is a new PDF file with the numbering added according to your settings.
When this is useful
Imagine you have assembled a final contract from several files: a title page, a table of contents, and the main text. To correctly number only the main block starting from the number 5, you simply select the required pages and set the starting number. Another case is preparing a large report where numbering should only be on the appendix pages, leaving the main body of the document untouched.
Step-by-step instructions
- First, upload your PDF file into the tool's interface.
- Then, in the settings, specify the desired position for the number, such as 'Bottom center'.
- After that, enter the starting number from which the count will begin, and change the font size if necessary.
- Check the boxes for the pages where you need numbers and click the button to save the new file.
How to verify the result
After processing, open the resulting PDF and scroll through it to ensure the numbers appear on all specified pages and do not overlap important text or footers. Verify that the first numbered page matches the starting number you entered. If the numbering is offset, make sure you selected the correct pages and did not skip any title sheets.
Important limitations
It is important to understand that the tool adds numbers as a new layer on top of the content, rather than modifying the original text. Therefore, before saving, always check the thumbnails to ensure the digits do not cover important information, especially if the document has existing headers or footers. You can specify a page range, and the numbering will be applied only to those sheets, leaving the rest unchanged.
