Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Upload your PDF, choose the numbering style, position, font, and starting number, then apply and download the numbered document.
Can I skip numbering on the first page?
Yes. You can set the starting page for numbering, so a cover page remains unnumbered while the content pages begin with 1.
What numbering formats are supported?
Standard Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), Roman numerals (i, ii, iii), and custom formats are supported depending on the tool configuration.
Will page numbers overlap my existing headers?
Choose a numbering position that does not conflict with existing headers or footers. Preview the result before saving to check for overlaps.
When is page numbering most useful?
After merging multiple PDFs into one document, before court or legal submissions, or when creating formal reports and proposals.
When to use this tool

- A merged document needs consistent page numbering across sections.
- A legal or academic document requires visible page numbers.
- Scanned pages should include numbers matching their physical counterparts.
Tips for best results
- Choose a placement that does not overlap existing headers or footers.
- Start numbering from the correct page when a cover page exists.
