PDF tool guide

Add consistent page numbers to every PDF page

Toolyma numbers every page in a PDF using the starting value, position and font size you choose. Six top and bottom positions are available.

The numbers are added to a new downloadable copy in your browser, so the original file stays unchanged and is not uploaded to Toolyma.

  3. Choose position and size.Select a top or bottom alignment and a font size from 6 to 48.
  4. Add and download.Create the numbered PDF and review the placement on each page.

Privacy, quality and limitations

  • Every page: numbers are added across the complete document.
  • Six positions: choose top or bottom with left, center or right alignment.
  • Page margins: very full page designs should be checked to ensure numbers do not overlap content.
  • Static text: the inserted numbers become visible PDF content rather than dynamic viewer labels.
