Add Page Numbers to PDF — FAQ
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Set “Skip first N pages” to 1 and numbering starts on the second page while the total still counts every page.
Do the numbers print correctly?
Yes — they are drawn onto the page as real content, so they print and photocopy exactly as shown.
Will this work on a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are images inside the PDF; numbering is added on top without affecting the scan.
