How to Use the PDF Page Number Adder
Adding page numbers to your PDF documents is a simple, three-step process with this tool. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface ensures you can quickly modify your files without any complex software.
Step 1: Upload Your PDF File
You have two easy options for uploading your document:
- Drag and Drop: Simply click on your PDF file, drag it over to the designated area that says "Drag & Drop a PDF here," and release the mouse button.
- Click to Select: Click anywhere inside the upload box. This will open your computer's file selection window, where you can navigate to and choose the PDF file you wish to modify.
Once uploaded, the name of your selected file will appear just below the upload box, confirming that it's ready for the next step.
Step 2: Add Page Numbers
After your file is selected, a blue button labeled "Add Page Numbers" will appear. Click this button to start the process. A loader will appear, indicating that the tool is working. For most documents, this process takes only a few seconds. The tool automatically adds page numbers in the format "Page X of Y" to the bottom center of each page.
Step 3: Download Your Numbered PDF
As soon as the processing is complete, a green "Download PDF" button will become visible. Click this button to save the newly numbered PDF file to your computer. The downloaded file will be named "pdf-with-page-numbers.pdf" by default.
