Add page numbers

Stamp page numbers on every page.

To stamp page numbers on every page:

1. Open Add page numbers from the tools list.
2. Drop your PDF (or PDFs).
3. Choose Position on the 6-cell grid (top left, top centre, top right, bottom left, bottom centre, bottom right).
4. Choose Number style: 1, Page 1, 1 of 3, Page 1 of 3, or type your own under Custom ("Type your own: %p is the page number, %P the total pages.").
5. Under More options: Number from page [n] to page [m] ("Leave "to page" empty to number up to the last page."), Start counting at (default 1), and Text size.
6. Click Add page numbers (or Add page numbers to <n> PDFs).

What you'll see when it's done: the previewed page updates live as you change the options, showing the actual number in the position and style you chose. Once run, the finished file is listed with a Download button.

Figure: the page number shown on the page before anything is run.

If something goes wrong

"The 'to' page must be a whole number of 1 or more"; "The 'to' page can't come before the 'from' page"; "This PDF has only 1 page" (or "This PDF has <n> pages — choose a page from 1 to <n>") if your range doesn't fit the document. On the desktop app, offline, the button is disabled with "Needs an internet connection to add page numbers PDFs."
