A closer look at Page Numbers
Page Numbers adds sequential page numbers to a PDF in a header or footer position. Choose left, center or right alignment and a starting number, and the numbers are stamped onto every page in your browser.
Use it to number a multi-page document before sharing, to standardize page references across a report, or to add page numbers to scans that have none. Run it after arranging pages — numbering a document before reorganizing it leaves references out of order.
The style is intentionally minimal: plain numerals in a fixed 10pt gray, positioned in the header or footer. There is no skip-first-page option and no 'Page X of Y' format.

What you can use it for
- Numbering a multi-page document before sharing.
- Standardizing page references across a report.
- Adding simple page numbers to scans.
- Numbering documents that arrive without any page labels.
What to keep in mind
- Numbers are added to all pages; there is no skip-first-page option.
- Plain numerals only — no 'Page X of Y', prefixes or formatting.
- Fixed 10pt gray styling.
- Number pages last, after organizing and rotating, so the final order is numbered correctly.
Troubleshooting
Numbers would be wrong because I reordered pages
Numbering stamps the current order. Rearrange pages first with Organize PDF, then apply page numbers.
The number on the first page is unwanted
There is no skip-first-page option yet — keep that page as part of the numbering or split it off before numbering.
