What this tool does
Add visible page numbers to all pages or a chosen range. Pick the starting number, font size, and footer position before creating a new browser-local PDF.
This is useful for packets assembled from several sources that need one continuous page sequence.
Numbers are drawn as new page content, so they can cover existing footer material if the margin is crowded.
Where this tool earns its place
Leave the cover unnumbered and display 1 through 11 on the remaining pages.
What to check before relying on the result
- Page numbers are drawn in the footer and can overlap existing content.
- Editing page content invalidates existing digital signatures.
Open a nearby browser tool when you need to validate, convert, or reuse the result.
How to use
01Use Cases
Add one footer sequence after merging documents from several contributors.
Start the selected range at page 2 while displaying 1 on that first numbered page.
FAQ
02Can numbering start at a value other than 1?
Yes. Set any non-negative starting number for the first selected page.
Do unselected pages affect the sequence?
No. Only selected pages receive numbers and the sequence advances across those selected positions.
Will this preserve signed PDFs?
Changing page content invalidates existing digital signatures. Work from an unsigned copy when signature validity matters.
