3. Click "Add Page Numbers".

Pro tips

  • Standard footers use a 20-point margin from page boundaries. Increase this padding if the text overlaps with existing page contents.
  • Use contrasting colors (e.g. black or dark blue) for visibility.

Frequently asked questions

Which numbering formats can I choose?

You can choose between simple numbers ("1"), page labels ("Page 1"), or full pagination counts ("Page 1 of 12").

Can I omit the page number on the first page?

Yes! You can choose to skip the first page, which is ideal if your PDF has a title page or a table of contents.

Where can I position the page numbers?

You can position numbers in the headers or footers, aligned to the Left, Center, or Right.
