Asked
Questions
Quick answers about this PurePDF workflow.
Is adding page numbers to a PDF free?
Yes. PurePDF Add Page Numbers is 100% free with no signup and no watermarks.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
No. Page numbering runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Can I choose where the page numbers appear?
Yes. Place numbers in the header or footer, aligned left, center, or right, with adjustable margins.
Can I start numbering from a specific page or number?
Yes. Set a custom starting number and skip pages such as a cover page before numbering begins.
Can I change the font and size of page numbers?
Yes. Choose the font size and color so numbers match your document design.
Will adding page numbers change my document quality?
No. Numbers are added as a text layer — the original pages, images, and fonts are untouched.
Can I number only a range of pages?
Yes. Apply numbering to a specific page range and leave the rest of the document unchanged.
