Add page numbers to a PDF and look at them on the page before you save. Put the number in a corner or in the center, and choose how far it sits from the edge. The style can be 1, Page 1, 1 of 12, or a line you write yourself. Number the whole file, skip the cover, or set the first and last page. The count can start at any number. Everyday files stay on your device. A large Pro file is sent to our server. There are nine positions: every corner, the middle of each edge, or the center. You can also change the size, set the number in bold, and pick a color that fits your document. It helps with reports, theses, contracts and anything headed for print, where readers need to find a page fast. On a phone the pages sit on top and the settings underneath. Free for PDFs up to 100 MB and 150 pages.
