How It Works
This tool stamps page numbers onto every page of a PDF, with control over position, font size, and starting number — useful for documents that need consistent pagination before printing or formal submission.
Positioning and starting number
Choose bottom-center, bottom-right, bottom-left, or top-center placement, and set any starting number rather than always beginning at 1 — useful when your PDF is one chapter or section of a larger document and needs to continue the parent document's numbering.
Examples
Numbering a standalone report
Adding bottom-center page numbers starting at 1 to a 20-page report before printing and binding.
Continuing numbering from a previous section
If chapter 1 of a book ended on page 45, setting the starting number to 46 for chapter 2's PDF keeps numbering continuous across the merged final document.
Common Use Cases
- Adding professional pagination to a report or document before printing or formal submission
- Continuing page numbering across a document assembled from multiple separate PDF sections
- Standardizing page number position and style across multiple documents
Tips
- If you plan to merge several numbered PDFs later, set each section's starting number to continue from where the previous section left off before merging, rather than numbering each section from 1 independently.
- Bottom-center is the most common convention for formal documents and reports — reserve other positions for specific stylistic or space constraints (e.g. bottom-right for documents that get hole-punched on the left).
