Stamps page numbers onto a PDF in the corner or centre you choose. The format box takes {n} for the number and {total} for the page count, so “Page {n} of {total}” prints exactly that. Numbering can start at any value, which matters when the document is one chapter of something longer.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about the add page numbers to pdf.

Can I write “Page 3 of 40” rather than just the number?+

Yes. Put Page {n} of {total} in the Format box. {n} becomes the page's number and {total} the number of pages in the file.

My document has a cover page I do not want numbered.+

Set Start at to 0. The cover then carries a 0 you can ignore, and page two becomes 1. The tool numbers every page, so a truly unnumbered cover means splitting it off first.

Will the number cover up my text?+

It is placed in the margin, about a centimetre from the edge. If your layout already uses that corner, pick a different position from the six offered.
