Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add numbers to only some pages?
Currently the tool adds page numbers to all pages. You can split the PDF first, add numbers, then merge if needed.
Does it affect PDF quality?
No. Only a text footer/header is added to each page. The original content, images, and formatting are untouched.
Can I remove page numbers later?
Page numbers added by this tool are embedded as PDF content. They are not separately removable without a PDF editor.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. The page numbers are added as a text layer on top, so it works on all PDFs including scanned images.
