What is Remove Page Numbers?

Page numbers added by a previous tool or embedded in an older document can interfere with re-paginating, merging, or re-distributing a document. PDFStream detects and removes page number annotations from PDFs. The tool targets page number annotations in the annotation layer โ€” footer or header numbers added by PDF tools including PDFStream's own page-numbers tool. Content that is baked into the page raster (e.g., scanned documents) is not affected. Use cases: removing old page numbers before re-paginating a revised document, cleaning up page footers before merging two documents into a unified sequence, or stripping headers/footers added by a previous tool before re-processing.
