PRIVACY FOR THIS JOB

Your document stays under your control

Numbering is applied directly to pages in browser memory. The report, exhibit, or application remains on your device throughout the job.

LIMITS TO KNOW

Check these before you start

  • Added numbers become part of the new PDF and do not update an existing table of contents.
  • Choose page ranges carefully when covers should remain unnumbered.
  • Existing footer content can overlap the selected number position.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Number a merged exhibit packet

Input
A 42-page packet with an unnumbered cover and numbering beginning on page 2
Result
A PDF numbered 1–41 after the cover using the selected footer position.
ZERO UPLOADS

Verify the privacy claim yourself
