Why use this tool
Once you merge several files, the original numbering rarely makes sense. Add a consistent sequence in the corner or footer of your choice, starting from any number, so cross references and printed copies match.

- 2
Choose the position, first number and label format.

Frequently asked questions
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful when the document is a continuation of another file.
Can I use a label like Page 3?
Yes. Put {n} anywhere in the format field, for example Page {n}.
Will numbers overlap existing content?
Numbers sit in the margin. If your pages have very tight margins, pick the opposite corner.
