How to Add Page Numbers to PDF?

1. Upload Your PDF: Click the "Select PDF" area or drag and drop your file. Since it works offline, you can even use it without an active internet connection once the page is loaded.
2. Configure Settings:
   Position: Choose where the number should appear (e.g., Bottom-Right is standard for most formal documents).
   Start Number: By default, it starts at "1". You can change this if your document is a continuation of another file.
   Page Range: If you want to leave the first page (cover) blank, set the range to start from Page 2.
3. Preview & Apply & Download: Review your settings. When ready, click "Add Page Numbers" and download: The tool will instantly generate a new PDF file. Save it to your desired folder.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Is it safe to upload confidential legal documents here?
  A: Yes. Unlike other services, we do not upload your file to any cloud server. The processing happens locally on your device's memory. You can disconnect from the internet after loading the page, and the tool will still work.
• Q: Can I number pages starting from a specific number, like 5?
  A: Yes. You can set a "Start Value" in the settings. This is useful if you are merging multiple PDF files manually and need the numbering to continue from a previous document.
• Q: Does this tool work on Mac and Mobile?
  A: Absolutely. A.Tools works on any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
• Q: Is there a file size limit?
  A: Since the processing is local, the limit depends on your device's RAM. Generally, files up to 200MB can be processed smoothly without any lag.
