How to: step-by-step
- Select the PDF.
- Choose the number position and format, such as a simple number or Page 1.

- Apply page numbers, download and check the first and last numbered pages.
Tips for better results
- Place numbers inside the printable margin.
- Add numbers after finalizing the page order.
Common pitfalls
- New numbers can overlap numbers already printed in the document.
- Visible numbers do not necessarily change PDF viewer page labels.
Before you finish
The numbers are added page content. Keep an unnumbered copy if the sequence may change.
