Add page numbers guide
How to choose PDF page-number position, label, and size
Use the available label, start value, placement, and size settings to create a clear numbering pattern.
Add the page numbers
- Choose the PDF and decide which ascending page ranges should receive labels.
- Set the first number, optional prefix, label format, position, size, colour, and opacity.
- Confirm the label and number remain readable on pages with different backgrounds.
Why the final placement must be checked after creation
No placement/output preview is rendered before creating the PDF.
