How to add page numbers to a PDF

- Choose where the numbers go, the style and the size.
- Tap the Number button, check the preview, then download.
Good to know
Numbers are placed where they look right on screen, even on pages that are stored sideways, and the rest of each page is left exactly as it was.
Tick "Leave the first page without a number" for a cover page, and set "Start counting at" if the numbering should continue from another document.
Questions
Can I start at a number other than 1?
Yes. Set "Start counting at" to any number.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. The first page then gets no number, and numbering starts on the second page.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are added by your browser on your device.
