About Add Page Numbers
Add page numbers to reports, theses, contracts and merged documents. Put them at the top or bottom, left, centre or right, use formats such as “Page 3 of 12”, and skip a cover page by numbering only a range.
How to add page numbers to a PDF
- Drop a PDF into the box, or click it to choose one.
- Choose the position, the format and the number to start from.
- Optionally type a page range, for example 2-20 to skip the cover.
- Click “Add Page Numbers”, then save the numbered PDF.
Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Very large files (over ~100 MB) can be slow on phones.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to add page numbers?
No. TrustPDF runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your file is read and processed on your own device and is never sent to a server. The site's Content-Security-Policy does not allow the page to send anything to any other site, and you can check the open-source code on GitHub.
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Type a range such as 2-20 in “Pages to number”. With “Start at 1”, page 2 is then numbered 1.
Can I use the format “Page 1 of 10”?
Yes. Choose it in the Format list; the total counts only the pages you number.
Do numbers appear correctly on rotated pages?
Yes. TrustPDF places the number relative to the page as you see it, so landscape and rotated pages are numbered upright.
