Frequently asked questions
How do I number PDF pages with Arabic digits?
Select the file, choose the ١٢٣ digits option, set the position and format, then press the button.
Can I start numbering from a specific number?
Yes. Enter the number you want in the First number field.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Number only the pages you want, e.g. 2-20, and the cover stays unnumbered.
What is facing-pages mode?
It mirrors the number's position on even pages, so numbers sit on the outer edge like in a printed book.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Numbering happens in your browser and the file stays on your device.
Can I add Roman numeral page numbers to a PDF?
Not at the moment. Numbers use Latin (1, 2, 3) or Arabic (١، ٢، ٣) digits, and a custom format lets you add your own text around them.
How do I add Bates numbers to a PDF?
Use Header & footer, which supports Bates numbering with a prefix, start number and digit count.
