Before you save

  • Use an unlocked, untagged PDF up to 100 MB and 500 pages. Digitally signed, XFA, scripted and unsupported files are refused. Your original stays unchanged.
  • Numbers are added to the visible page area, taking crop boundaries and page rotation into account. Existing printed numbers are not removed.
  • Interactive forms are handled in PDF forms. Text uses a standard PDF font; unsupported characters are reported.

Questions about page numbers

Can I skip the cover?

Yes. Enter a page range starting at page 2 or later, then choose the first printed number.

Will the numbers stay editable?

Numbers become PDF page content. Keep your original if you may need a different numbering scheme.
