Why this matters more than it seems

Anything meant for printing or citing needs page numbers so readers can navigate it. Documents assembled from several merged files often end up with no numbering at all, or numbering that resets partway through, which this fixes in one pass.

A typical use case

A thesis, a long proposal, or a combined report assembled from several source documents that never had consistent numbering. One pass here fixes the whole thing at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes, set any starting number, useful when a document continues from a previous one or a cover page shouldn't be counted.

Will it renumber pages that already have printed numbers?

It adds a new number on top, so you might end up with two if the page already shows one. Best used on documents without existing numbers.

Can I change the font or size of the numbers?

The style is fixed to a clean default. For custom styling, Edit PDF lets you place text manually.

Can I skip numbering on a cover page?

Set the starting number to account for it. If page 1 is a cover, 1 will simply start appearing on the second physical page.
