About Add Page Numbers
Adding page numbers to a PDF is a small but important finishing touch for reports, theses, and long documents — it makes referencing specific pages possible and gives the document a more finished, professional look.
You can choose where the numbers appear (such as bottom-center or bottom-right) and set a custom starting number, which is useful when your document continues numbering from another file rather than starting at 1.
