// Benefits
Place page numbers exactly where you want them, in the format you want, on the pages you choose.
Drop numbers in any of six spots — top or bottom, left, center, or right — with a small, medium, or large margin to match your layout.
Choose plain "1", "Page 1", "1 / N", or "1 of N" — the right wording for reports, briefs, or print-ready packets.
Begin counting at any number and number only the pages you choose, so front matter or cover pages stay untouched.
// Workflow
For the moment a draft, scan, or merged packet needs clean, consistent page numbers before you send or print it.
Upload the PDF you want to number.
Set the position, format, start number, and page range — and check the live preview.
Add the numbers and download your finished PDF.
