About this tool

Numbered pages make documents referable. Reviewers can say “see page 14” instead of describing a section, printed bundles can be reassembled after they are dropped, and legal or academic submissions often require numbering as a formality.

Numbers are drawn as real text into the page using a standard font, so they print cleanly and can be searched. Because you can set the starting number, a document that continues from another bundle can begin at 47 rather than 1.

What it's good for

  • Numbering a court or tender bundle assembled from several files.
  • Preparing a thesis or dissertation that must show page numbers.
  • Making a printed handout easy to follow in a meeting.
  • Continuing numbering across two volumes of one report.

Features

  • Six positions

    Any corner, or centred at the top or bottom of the page.

  • Custom start

    Begin at any number to continue an existing sequence.

  • Real text

    Numbers are text, so they stay crisp at any zoom or print size.

  • Consistent margins

    Numbers are inset from the page edge so printers do not clip them.

Questions people ask

Can I number only some pages?
This tool numbers every page. To number a section, extract it first, number it, then merge it back.
Will numbers overlap existing content?
They sit in the page margin. If your document has very wide content, choose a different position.
Can I use the format 'Page 1 of 20'?
Not yet — the current version stamps the number itself for maximum reliability across page sizes.
