When you'd use it
- A thesis needs numbered pages before you submit it, but the cover page should stay unnumbered.
- Merging several documents into one bundle that people will discuss by page number.
- Printing a long contract so the pages can be put back in order if dropped.
Just say what you need
There are no menus to learn. Drop your file on pdfagents.ai and type it the way you would say it:
- “add page numbers”
- “number the pages bottom right”
- “page x of y, starting on page 2”
How it works
- Drop the PDF.
- Choose position, format and the first numbered page.
- Download the numbered PDF.
Questions
- Which positions can I choose?
- Bottom centre, bottom right or top right, set slightly in from the edge.
- If I start on page 2, what number does it show?
- Earlier pages stay unnumbered. Counting starts at 1 on the page you choose, and “Page 1 of 12” counts only the numbered pages.
- Can I change the font or size?
- No. Numbers are 10-point Helvetica in dark grey on every page.
