Professional PDF Pagination Made Simple
Adding page numbers to PDF documents is an essential step for legal compliance, academic submissions, and professional report generation. Our "Add Number Page" tool eliminates the need for expensive software like Adobe Acrobat, offering a completely free, browser-based solution that respects your data privacy.
Why Pagination Matters
In professional environments, unnumbered documents are often rejected. Courts require Bates numbering or specific pagination for evidence. Universities demand "Page X of Y" formatting for theses and dissertations. Ensuring your PDF has clear, consistent numbering improves readability and ensures that if pages are printed and shuffled, the document order remains clear.
How to Use This Tool
- Step 1: Upload. Drag and drop your PDF file into the upload box above. We support files of any size, processed instantly by your device's processor.
