Add page numbers with a custom start, range and position

PDFCook Add Page Numbers to PDF is designed for reports, contracts, scanned documents and handouts that need clear pagination.

Choose from simple numbers, a current / total format or Page 1 style. You can leave cover pages unnumbered by choosing a later start page, and set any starting number you need.

If the document pages need to be reordered or deleted first, use Organize PDF before adding page numbers.
