About this tool
Number reports, submissions, manuals, and document packets without uploading the source PDF, while keeping the selected range and export verification visible.
- Numbers all or selected pages with a logical starting number and four common display formats.
- Supports six header or footer positions, 8-36 pt text, HEX color, opacity, and 8-96 pt margins, including pages with existing rotation.
- Reopens the exported PDF and uses PDF.js text extraction to verify every applied label before download.
How to use PDF Page Numbers
Choose a PDF, set the physical page range and logical starting number, select a format and position, then inspect the preview before downloading the verified result.
When this tool is useful
- Numbering a report or submission packet after its pages are finalized.
- Skipping an unnumbered cover while starting the body at page 1.
Practical tips
- Organize, add, or remove pages before numbering because visible labels do not update automatically.
- Keep the original when signatures, forms, annotations, layers, or accessibility tags matter.
Examples you can test
Load an example, compare the result with the expected output, then replace it with your own input.

The cover remains visually unnumbered.
Validation checklist
- Confirm the physical range and logical first number.
- Inspect top or bottom placement on pages with different sizes or rotations.
- Open the exported PDF and verify signatures and advanced document features separately.
