Add Page Numbers to PDF
Why add page numbers?
Page numbers are essential for long reports, essays, and printed materials. They help readers navigate the document and keep physical copies organized if they get mixed up.
How local numbering works
Our tool uses a JavaScript library to parse your PDF file structure locally. It iterates over every page, calculates the precise coordinates based on your position choice, and embeds the numeric text directly into the page.
