What is Add Page Numbers?

Adding page numbers to a PDF makes long documents navigable and professional. PDFStream's page number tool inserts numbers at your chosen position โ€” bottom center, top right, bottom left, and more โ€” with configurable starting number and font size. Numbers are added as a new annotation layer, so the original content is unchanged. You can set the starting number (useful for chapters in a larger document), choose the position, and adjust the size. Use cases: adding page numbers to a compiled report before distribution, numbering a manual's chapters for a table of contents, paginating a legal document for reference in court filings, or adding footers to a presentation PDF.
