Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from something other than 1?
Yes - set the "Start number" field to whatever the first page should be labeled.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is loaded and rebuilt entirely in your browser using JavaScript - it never leaves your device.
Can I number only some pages?
This tool numbers every page in the document. To number a subset, remove the other pages first with the PDF Page Deleter, then number the result.
Will this replace numbers already printed on the page?
No - it adds a new number on top of the page content. If the original document already has page numbers printed in the same spot, both will show.
