How to add page numbers to a PDF

  1. Drop the PDF in. Every page appears as a thumbnail. Drop several files to number them as one document.
  2. Choose position, style and start. Bottom centre, bottom corners or top right; 1, 2, 3 or Page 1 of 12 or 1 / 12; start at any number.
  3. Add numbers and download. Done.

Details that matter

Rotated pages
The number lands where you would expect when the page is viewed, even if it is stored sideways.
Starting number
Start at 3 when a cover and a contents page are counted elsewhere, or at 47 for the second half of a report.
Several files
Drop them all and the numbering runs straight through, in the order shown in the grid.
