Why add page numbers to a PDF?
Page numbers help readers navigate longer documents, reference specific sections in discussions, and keep printed materials in order. Reports, manuals, and submissions often require consistent numbering across every page.
PageCraft PDF lets you choose how numbers appear - from simple digits to formats like Page 1 or 1 of 10 - and where they sit on the page. You can limit numbering to a specific range when only part of the document needs labels.
