Press Add page numbers and your numbered PDF downloads.
Numbers that sit upright
Numbers are placed on the page as it is displayed, so landscape and rotated pages get their numbers in the right corner and the right way up.
Additive by design
The page's own drawing instructions are not rewritten. The numbers are a separate layer added on top, which is the least invasive way to change a PDF.
Questions people ask
+Can I start numbering on page 2?
Yes. Type 2 to the last page in the pages box and set the first number to 1.
+Which fonts are used?
Helvetica, one of the standard PDF fonts every reader has. It covers Latin letters and digits.
+Will numbers cover my footer?
Numbers sit 28 points from the edge. If your footer is there, pick another position.
+Are my files kept on your server?
No. The file is processed in memory for this one request and the result is sent straight back to your browser. Nothing is written to storage and nothing is shared.
