Preparing the workbench…

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open a PDF

    Choose where the number sits.

  2. Step 2

    Format

    Plain, Page X, or X of Y. Set a starting number.

  3. Step 3

    Apply

    Numbers draw in the margin, not over the body if you keep the default inset.

Why this free PDF tool

Typical free web tools stop after three tasks an hour and cap files at 50 MB or 200 pages. Every extra step — merge, then compress, then number — burns another task. Kitcroft runs page numbers in this browser. There is no task meter and the file is not sent to a processing server. Ads in the reserved frames keep the tools free.

Questions

Will numbers cover existing headers?
They draw in from the edge. If a document already has a footer, pick the opposite margin.
