- Good to know
- Works best with files under 100 MB (the upload cap); very large files depend on your device's memory. Numbers use the built-in Helvetica font, which covers Latin characters only. Numbers are placed upright even on rotated pages but may overlap existing content near the edges — increase the distance from the edge if so. Password-protected or permission-locked PDFs can't be edited: make an unlocked copy first (open it with the password and use Print → Save as PDF).

FAQ
What do {n} and {total} mean?
{n} is replaced by each page's number and {total} by the last number used. So "Page {n} of {total}" becomes "Page 3 of 12". You can type any text around them.
How do I leave the cover page unnumbered?
Tick “Don't number the first page”. Numbering then starts on page 2 with your chosen start number.
Can I continue numbering from another document?
Yes. Set “Start numbering at” to the next number, e.g. 25, and the pages will be numbered 25, 26, 27…
