Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add page numbers to password-protected PDFs?
No, password-protected PDFs cannot be modified until the password protection is removed. You'll need to unlock the PDF first using our PDF unlock tool or the original password, then add page numbers, and re-protect if needed.
Will adding page numbers affect the original document formatting?
No, our tool adds page numbers as overlay elements without modifying the existing content or formatting. Your original text, images, and layout remain completely unchanged. Page numbers are positioned to avoid interfering with existing content.
Can I start page numbering from a specific page?
Currently, our tool adds page numbers to all pages in the document. However, you can set a custom starting number. For example, if you want page numbering to start from page 3 with number "1", you would set the starting number accordingly and manually remove numbers from the first two pages if needed.
What file size limitations exist for this tool?
Our tool can handle PDF files up to 50MB in size. For larger files, consider compressing your PDF first using our PDF compressor tool, then adding page numbers. Most standard documents fall well within this limit.
Are the page numbers searchable within the PDF?
Yes, page numbers added by our tool are text elements that become part of the PDF's searchable content. This means you can use your PDF viewer's search function to find specific page numbers, and the numbers will be accessible to screen readers for improved accessibility.
