About This Tool
Page Numbers is the perfect utility for organizing multi-page documents, ensuring they meet professional, academic, or legal formatting standards. Adding clear pagination makes your PDF easier to reference, navigate, and print.
Our tool offers extensive customization options: place numbers in headers or footers, align them to the left, center, or right, and choose from multiple styles like "Page 1 of 10" or simple Arabic/Roman numerals. You can even choose to skip the first page for a clean cover look.
Privacy Guaranteed: Pagination is handled entirely through client-side scripting. This means your files stay on your device throughout the entire process, ensuring total confidentiality for sensitive documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start the numbering from a specific page?
Yes, you can set the "Start Number" to any value and also define the specific page range where numbering should begin, allowing you to skip title pages or prefaces.
Does it support Bates Numbering for legal files?
While primarily a pagination tool, you can use custom text fields to add prefixes or specific numeric sequences commonly used in legal discovery and document indexing.
Will the page numbers overlap my document text?
You can adjust the margins and position (top/bottom/left/right) to ensure the numbers appear in the white space of your document without obscuring any content.
