What is the Add Page Numbers to PDF?
Page numbers are drawn onto each page as text in Helvetica, so they print and display everywhere. Rotated pages are handled so the numbers stay upright.
Use “Skip first page” for documents with a cover; numbering then starts on page 2 with the start number you choose.

Is the Add Page Numbers to PDF free and private?
Yes. The Add Page Numbers to PDF is free, needs no account, and processes your files entirely in your browser. Files are never uploaded to a server or stored.
