What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
The number is drawn into the page at the position and size you choose, as ordinary page content. A start value and page range let you skip front matter or continue a sequence across documents.
Where it stops: Numbers are drawn on top rather than reflowing the page, so on edge-to-edge documents they can overlap content. Add margins first if your pages have none.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Set the page range to begin after it, and set the start value so numbering begins where you want.
Can numbering continue across several PDFs?
Yes. Set each document's start value to follow on from the last, or merge first and number once.
What if the number overlaps my content?
Choose a different corner, or run Add Margins to PDF first to create clear space.
