About Add Page Numbers
Page numbers make long reports, theses and merged documents easy to navigate and refer to. Pick where they go and how they read, and every page is numbered in order.
A good moment to do this is right after merging several PDFs, so the numbering runs through the whole document.
Number styles
| Style | Page 3 of 12 shows | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Plain | 3 | Reports and books |
| Of total | 3 of 12 | Contracts and forms, where missing pages matter |
| With word | Page 3 of 12 | Formal documents and printed handouts |
Do this last
Merge, reorder and delete pages first, then add numbers as the final step, because deleting a page afterwards leaves a gap in the numbering.

Questions
Can I start from a page other than 1?
Not at the moment. Numbering always starts with 1 on the first page.
What if my pages already have numbers?
New numbers are added on top. Choose a position where the existing numbers are not printed.
Will it work on merged PDFs?
Yes. Merge first, then add numbers to the combined file.
