How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF Online
Add page numbers to PDF documents directly in your browser with EDITHUBS. Choose the number position, starting value, page range, format, font size, color, and spacing, then preview the placement and download the updated PDF without installing extra software. The tool is useful for reports, manuals, books, assignments, contracts, forms, invoices, and other multi-page documents.
Upload the PDF you want to number
Click Select PDF file and choose a document from your device, or drag and drop it into the upload area. You can add page numbers to reports, contracts, manuals, books, assignments, invoices, forms, presentations, and other supported PDF documents.
Choose the page-number position
Select where the number should appear on each page. Common positions include top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, and bottom-right.
Select the pages that should be numbered
Apply numbers to the complete PDF or choose a custom page range. Page selection is useful when cover pages, title pages, blank pages, appendices, or other sections should remain unnumbered.
Set the starting page number
Choose the number that should appear on the first selected page. Start from 1 for most documents, or enter another value when the PDF continues from a previous chapter, section, or volume.
Choose the page-number format
Use a simple number such as 1, 2, 3, or select an available format such as Page 1, Page 1 of 10, or another supported style. Choose a format that matches the document purpose.
Adjust font, size, color, and spacing
Use the available controls to make page numbers readable without distracting from the document. Choose a suitable font size, text color, margin, and distance from the page edge.
Preview page-number placement
Review the page thumbnails or preview before saving. Check that numbers do not cover footers, headers, signatures, tables, images, or other important content.
Apply the page numbers
When the position, range, format, and styling are correct, apply the changes. EDITHUBS adds the numbers to the selected PDF pages and prepares a new document.
Download and save the numbered PDF
When processing is complete, download the updated PDF to your device. Open it for a final review, rename it if needed, and keep the original file as a backup.
