Does page numbering overwrite existing content?

Page numbers are stamped in the header or footer margins.

Can I skip the cover page?

Not directly. Number the pages after the cover in a separate file, then merge the cover in front.

Are the numbers editable later?

They become part of the page. To change them, number the original file again.

No. Numbers are added in your browser.

About Add Page Numbers to PDF

Add page numbers to every page of a PDF. Choose the format (Page 3 of 10, 3 / 10, or just 3), the position, and the font size, then download the numbered document.

Format and position

Page X of Y tells readers how long the document is, which helps with printed handouts and legal documents. X / Y is more compact, and a plain number suits books and reports.

Numbers can go at the bottom center, bottom right, or top right, in sizes from 8 to 16 points. Bottom center is the most common choice for reports; bottom right works well for documents that will be bound on the left.

Before you number

Numbers are added on top of the page, so they can overlap content that runs right to the edge. Check the preview, and choose a different position if a number covers a footer.

Put pages in their final order first with Organize PDF or Merge PDF; numbers follow the page order at the moment you add them.
