How to Add Unified Page Numbers to PDF Files (Page X of Y & Custom Formats)
When you merge multiple reports, scanned certificates, and appendices into a single PDF, the individual page numbers become inconsistent or missing altogether. iEditPDF's Page Numbers tool allows you to stamp unified, professional page numbering across any multi-page PDF document with custom positioning, formats (Page X of Y, 1/N), margins, and cover-page exclusions.

Preguntas frecuentes
Can I skip numbering on the cover page and start numbering from page 2 as 'Page 1'?
Yes! Simply set 'First numbered page' to 2 and 'Start numbering at' to 1. Your cover page will remain clean and unnumbered while page 2 will be stamped as Page 1.
Will adding page numbers alter my existing text or images?
No. Page numbers are stamped onto a transparent overlay layer above your pages, preserving your existing layouts, margins, and graphics.
Is this tool free without any page count restrictions?
Yes. Unlike other websites that cap free pagination at 20 or 50 pages, iEditPDF lets you number documents of any length with zero limits.
