How to add page numbers to a PDF

  2. Choose position and style. Pick a corner such as bottom-center, a format like “Page 1 of N”, and the starting number, size and colour.
  3. Set the page range. Number every page, skip the cover page, or limit numbering to a range like 2-20.
  4. Apply and download. The numbers are added to your chosen pages — preview it, then download your PDF.
