Add page numbers to a PDF
Number PDF pages as 1, "Page 1 of 9", "1 / 9" or with Bates numbers like ABC000001, in any corner, skipping the cover if you want.
How it works
- Choose a format and a corner; the preview shows how the first numbered page will look.
- Latin-script numbers are real text in the PDF, so Bates numbers can be searched. Other scripts are drawn by your browser.
- Rotated pages are numbered the way they are displayed.
Questions
What is Bates numbering?
A unique, zero-padded number with a prefix (ABC000001, ABC000002…) stamped on every page of documents exchanged in a court case, so each page can be referred to precisely.
Can I continue numbering from another file?
Yes: set "Start at" to the next number, for example 51 if the previous file ended at 50.
