- 2.Pick where the numbers go.
- 3.Download the numbered PDF.
How LaTeX writes PDFs
- • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern.
- • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
- • Equations are built from many small pieces.
What that means when you add page numbers
- • Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Numbers are added on top of each page; the original content is not rewritten.
- • Every page is numbered in one step.
Questions people ask
+Does numbering change my pages?
No. The numbers are an added layer; the page content underneath is untouched.
+Is it better to edit in LaTeX?
If you have the original LaTeX file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
