About Add Page Numbers

Page numbers make long documents, reports and bundles of scans far easier to navigate and reference. Choose where numbers go, how they look and which pages get them.

Styles include 1, Page 1, Page 1 of 10 and 1 / 10, and you can start from any number — useful when a document continues from another. A live preview shows the result on your own page.

How to use Add Page Numbers
