Before you convert
Numbers are stamped as text overlays; existing content near the edges may be overlapped.
Add consistent numbering to every PDF page
Page Numbers stamps a formatted number on each page — pick a corner or edge position, a format like “Page {n} of {total}”, and a starting number.
The {n} and {total} placeholders are replaced per page. A non-zero start is useful when the PDF will be appended after other documents.
Useful situations
- Number a compiled report before submission.
- Continue numbering across a multi-part document set.
- Add page references to scanned paperwork.
How to use Add Page Numbers
- Select a PDF within the size limit.
- Choose a position and a format using {n} and {total}.
- Set a start number if it should not begin at 1, then convert.
What to expect
- Numbers stamp on top of content — pick a position that avoids page text.
- Formatting uses {n} for the page number and {total} for the page count.
- Existing headers or footers near the edge may be overlapped.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start numbering at 10 instead of 1?
Set the start field to 10 — the first page prints as page 10 and continues from there.
Can I show “Page 3 of 20” style numbers?
Yes — the default format “Page {n} of {total}” does exactly that. Change the text around the placeholders as needed.
The numbers overlap my document text — what now?
Choose a different position — a corner instead of center, or top instead of bottom — to find an empty area of the page.
