About the Add Page Numbers
A PDF page numbering tool inserts sequential page numbers ("1, 2, 3..." or "Page X of Y") into headers or footers across document pages. Numbering pages is standard practice for legal filings, academic dissertations, business proposals, and printed manuals.
The tool provides flexible configuration: choose page number format, font family, font size, text color, alignment (bottom center, bottom right, top right), and margin offsets. You can also specify a custom starting number (e.g. starting at page 5 after a title page and table of contents).
Page numbers are rendered natively as vector text elements, ensuring crisp, professional output at any zoom level or high-resolution print setting.
Adding "Page X of Y" numbering to the bottom right footer of a 30-page commercial proposal, configured to skip the cover page and begin numbering on page 2.
Tips for best results
- Position page numbers at least 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) from the page edges to prevent them from being cut off by standard office printers.
- Use the 'Page X of Y' format for formal contracts so recipients can instantly verify that no pages are missing.
- Skip numbering on cover pages and introductory title sheets to maintain clean, professional document aesthetics.
