Add Page Numbers to PDF - Free Online Tool (No Acrobat)

Page numbers make PDF documents navigable and professional-looking. They are essential for reports, essays, manuals, and any multi-page document that may be printed or shared.

Page Number Positioning

• Bottom center - most common for reports and essays
• Bottom right - common for business documents
• Bottom left - alternative placement
• Top right - used in headers for formal documents

Numbering Formats

• 1, 2, 3... - standard numeric
• i, ii, iii... - Roman numerals (often used for front matter)
• A-1, A-2... - prefixed numbers (for appendices)
• Page X of Y - shows total page count

Which Pages to Number?

Typically you skip numbering the first page (cover page) and sometimes the table of contents. SnapSum lets you set a start page so the cover and TOC don't get numbered.
