Why add page numbers to PDFs on PDFDocks?

Long PDFs need page numbers—for reference, navigation, and professionalism. Adding them manually is tedious and error-prone. PDFDocks adds page numbers directly in your browser using JavaScript, letting you customize format, position, and which pages get numbered.

Can I customize the page number format?

+

Yes. PDFDocks offers formats like 1, 2, 3 or i, ii, iii, and lets you choose position (top, bottom, corners).

Can I skip numbering specific pages?

+

Yes. You can exclude the first few pages or any ranges you specify.

Will numbering increase file size significantly?

+

Minimally. Page numbers add very little data to the PDF.

Is my PDF private?

+

Completely. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Can I change numbering after adding it?

+

You'd need to process the PDF again. Keep your original if you might need to re-number.

Do I need software?

+

No. PDFDocks handles everything in your browser.
