What is a PDF page number adder?
A PDF page number adder is a tool that adds page numbers to PDF documents. Input: PDF files (max 100MB). Output: PDFs with page numbers. Commonly used for document organization, thesis formatting, and report archiving. Supports custom position (footer/header), format (1/2/3 or Page 1/Page 2), and starting number.
Does adding page numbers increase file size?
Barely — page number text takes up minimal space.
Can I start from any page number?
Yes, you can set a custom starting number.
Can I start numbering from a specific page?
Yes. Set the "Start number" field. For example, start at 5 to skip the cover page, or use "Start from page 3" to begin numbering on the third page.
Will page numbers overlap with existing content?
The tool places numbers in the margin area (top/bottom). If your content extends into margins, adjust the position or font size to avoid overlap.
Can I use Roman numerals (i, ii, iii)?
Currently only Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) are supported. For Roman numerals, add them manually using a PDF editor.
Are page numbers added to the PDF bookmark?
No. Page numbers are visual only — they appear on the page but do not modify the PDF outline or bookmarks.
