How does the Add Page Numbers to PDF work?
Add page numbers to a PDF — useful for any document that will be printed, referenced, or shared. Drop your PDF, choose where the numbers should appear (footer center is most common), pick a format ("1, 2, 3" or "Page 1" or "1 of 12" or "Page 1 of 12"), set the starting number, and click. Your numbered PDF downloads. The "start at" option is especially useful when combining chapters into a master document — give Chapter 2 a starting number that continues from where Chapter 1 ended. The "X of N" format helps readers see how much is left; the bare "1, 2, 3" format is most space-efficient.
