Add page numbers to PDF
Number the pages of applications, theses or contracts before printing or submitting — numbers are real text in the PDF and do not blur the content.

Output requirements
Add at least one page to create a file.
- The stamp is an extra layer drawn on top of the page: it records the intended use, but someone with PDF editing software can still remove it.
- Bookmarks and links in the document are kept; fillable forms, attachments and digital signatures are not.
- The Be Vietnam Pro font (SIL OFL licence) is embedded, limited to the characters used.
How to use
- Add one or more PDF files.
- Choose the number style (1/5, “Page 1 of 5”, – 1 –), position, size and starting number.
- To skip the cover, choose “Don’t number the first page (cover)” or limit the page range (for example 2-).
- Check the preview on a real page, click “Add page numbers”, then download or continue with another tool.
Current limits
- Numbers are added on top of existing content; if that spot already has text, choose another position.
- Existing page numbers in the file are not detected: a file that is already numbered will show two numbers.
- Digitally signed files: the signature is no longer valid after numbering.
- Layout, page size and existing content are not changed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Choose “Don’t number the first page (cover)”, or limit the page range (for example 2-) and choose the starting number.
Can the page numbers be copied and searched?
Yes. They are real text with an embedded font, not images.
Can I add a text watermark at the same time?
Yes. Turn on the text stamp section in this tool — both are added when the file is created.
