Add page numbers in a user manual PDF
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Number every page of a PDF in the position and style you choose.
How to do it
- 1.Open Add page numbers.
- 2.Pick where the numbers go.
- 3.Download the numbered PDF.

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.
Swap a screenshot
Remove an outdated screenshot and add the new one in its place.
Chapters as files
Use Split PDF with custom ranges to create one file per chapter.
Questions people ask
+Does numbering change my pages?
No. The numbers are an added layer; the page content underneath is untouched.
+Can I update the table of contents?
Yes, it's text. Update the page numbers if chapters moved.
