The number is real text drawn into the page, so it prints, it can be searched, and the
rest of the document is left exactly as it was.
Every page tells you its number
Under each page in the grid is the exact text it will get: Page 3 of 9, iv, or whatever you wrote. The preview is laid out with the same font tables and page box the file is written with, so what you check is what you save.
Ready-made formats, or your own words
1, Page 1, 1 / 10, Page 1 of 10 or - 1 -. Or write your own text with {n} for the number and {total} for the last one, such as Hal. {n} or {n} | Annual Report. Ordinary digits or Roman numerals, starting from any number.
Skip the cover, or number only some pages
Every page, every page except the first, only the ones you click, or a range you type such as 2-10, 12-. The count runs over the pages that get a number, so Page 9 of 9 always means nine numbered pages.
Any corner, mirrored for printing
Top or bottom; left, centre or right, at a distance from the edge you set. For a document printed double-sided, swap left and right on even pages so the number stays on the outer edge of every sheet.
Right way up on sideways scans
A scanned page often carries a rotation of its own. The number is placed against the page as you see it, so a footer lands along the bottom of a sideways scan and reads level, and a cropped page gets its number inside the part that shows.
Your document, otherwise untouched
Nothing is re-encoded or rebuilt. Bookmarks, links, form fields and searchable text all survive, and a number already printed on a page stays too: this tool adds, it never erases.
