How to add page numbers to a PDF

- Pick a format: 1, Page 1, 1 of 9, Page 1 of 9, or your own, e.g. {n} / {total}.
- Place the numbers at a corner or the middle of the top or bottom, and choose their font, size and color.
- Choose the pages to number and the first number, check the preview, then save the numbered PDF.
Questions
Can I start numbering from another page or number?
Yes. Number only the pages you pick, e.g. 3- to skip a cover and a contents page, starting from any number you like.
Can the numbers alternate sides, as in a book?
Yes: with facing pages, the numbers at the left and right swap sides on every other page.
Can the page numbers be searched?
Yes, they're written as real text in PDF's standard fonts, which every reader has, so they can be searched and copied. Those fonts write Latin letters only.
Is the rest of my PDF changed?
No, it's kept as it is, with its bookmarks, links and forms.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are added by your browser, on your device.
