Add a consistent navigation aid to long documents
Page numbering makes printed packets, contracts, manuals, and review copies easier to discuss. This tool adds a visible page sequence so readers can refer to “Page 7 of 24” without relying on the viewer interface.
Plan numbering before export
Decide whether the cover should receive a number and whether the numbering should match an existing table of contents. This tool applies the chosen format across the PDF, so it is best used after pages are in their final order.
Leave enough clear space near the selected alignment. Existing footers, crop marks, or edge-to-edge artwork may compete with the new label.
Readable placement
Use center alignment for neutral reports, left or right alignment when the opposite side contains a footer, and a moderate font size that remains visible in print without dominating the page.
Check both portrait and landscape pages. A position that looks balanced on one orientation may overlap content on another.
- ✓ Check the first and last page
- ✓ Review pages with existing footers
- ✓ Print a sample if the packet is physical
What the tool does not change
The tool adds numbering to the PDF pages; it does not rewrite a document’s internal bookmarks or automatically update a pre-existing table of contents.
Keep the unnumbered source so you can revise the sequence if pages are later added, removed, or rearranged.
