Add Page Numbers to PDFs for Briefs and Handouts

· PDF Junkie guides

Why page numbers matter

Printed decks, court filings, and coursework all reference “page 7”—without numbers, readers get lost.

What you can do

  • Add numbering to all pages or a range
  • Pick position (e.g. bottom center) and starting number
  • Keep fonts consistent with your brand or court rules

How to use

  1. Go to Add Page Numbers and upload the PDF.
  2. Set position, format, and first page number.
  3. Process and download the numbered PDF.
Example: Start at “1” for the body but exclude a cover page if your tool supports page ranges.
Pro tip: Preview a 3-page sample before running on a 500-page bundle to confirm margins.
