How to Insert Page Number in PDF

While your documents will have a specific number of pages, you must customize it if you want any form of page numbering to appear on your document. This makes information management easier, especially when printing or sharing the document is intended.

You will frequently refer to page numbers, so think about constructing a table of contents. Remember that introductions, title pages, and other exceptions frequently eat up space in documents even when they lack traditional page numbers. It's important to check that the page numbers in your document accurately reflect the information you wish to communicate, not just how many pages there are in your PDF.

Using a PDF editor like Soda PDF you can easily add or remove page numbers when working with a PDF. You can also customize the appearance and location to ensure everything fits your specifications.

• Current – Only the current page will have page numbers
• First – Page 1 of your document will have page numbers
• Last – The final page of your document will have page numbers
• Range – Choose a custom range of pages to have page numbers. You can segment the pages:
• Using a dash (–) tells the app to add page numbers to all the pages between the specific page numbers. To add page numbers to all pages between 2 and 5 you would type in “2-5”
