Add page numbers

The six position buttons cover the top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, and bottom-right areas. The side margin controls the horizontal distance from the edge, while the top or bottom margin controls the vertical distance. These values are measured in points and can be set from 0 to 200. Rotated PDF pages are taken into account when the label is placed.

The format menu includes a plain running number, Page 1, 1 of N, and Page 1 of N. Choose Custom to write a label with {n} for the current running number and {N} for the total number of pages in the document. For example, Sheet {n} of {N} can produce Sheet 5 of 12. The {N} value is the whole document total, even when only a smaller page range is numbered.

Start at controls the label placed on the first numbered page. Set it to 5, for example, and the selected range begins at 5 before increasing to 6, 7, and so on. This is useful when a chapter or appendix follows an earlier document.

From page and To page limit numbering to one continuous range. Leave both blank to number the whole PDF. To leave a cover unnumbered, set From page to 2. The first page in that range receives the Start at value. Pages outside the range are copied into the output without a new label.

The default is Liberation Sans at 11 points. Choose another bundled font or upload a font file, then use bold, italic, size, and color controls to fit the document. The output adds the number as PDF text rather than flattening the whole page into an image, so the new label remains selectable.

Font embedding depends on the selected font file. If a chosen font cannot be embedded, Frisqoo saves with a standard fallback font and reports the fallback in the completion message. Uploaded fonts remain subject to their own license terms. Before saving, check that the number is readable and does not cover a footer, page content, crop mark, or existing label.

Select Apply after the settings are ready. The editor stores the numbering operation, closes the panel, and shows the result on the page. Save and download becomes available after an operation has been applied. If the position or style needs work, undo the operation, reopen the Page numbers and Bates panel, and apply a revised set of options.

Saving creates a separate file with -numbered.pdf added to the original name. The PDF is rebuilt to include the new text, so it is not byte-for-byte identical to the source. Review several pages in the downloaded file, especially the first and last numbered pages, pages with different sizes or rotation, and any area close to existing headers or footers.

Choose Bates numbering to create a fixed-width sequence for records, exhibits, or case files. Set an optional prefix and suffix, choose from 1 to 12 digits, and enter the starting value. Prefix ABC-, six digits, and start value 123 produces ABC-000123, followed by ABC-000124 and ABC-000125. The digit setting supplies the leading zeros; it applies to Bates mode rather than the normal page-number formats.

A range can also be used in Bates mode. Numbering increases only on the included pages, while {N}-style total-page tokens are part of custom page-number formatting, not Bates labels. Check any filing, production, or records policy that governs the required prefix, width, and sequence before delivering the documents.

Add two or more PDFs to use batch mode. The settings panel applies one position, format, range, text style, and margin configuration to every file. Each PDF begins again from the chosen Start at value. A batch therefore does not create one continuous sequence across separate files. For a continuous sequence, set the start value for each file in separate runs.

After processing, download each numbered PDF from its row or choose Download all as ZIP. The ZIP contains the individual numbered PDFs rather than one merged document. Files with fewer pages than the selected range are handled according to their own page count, so review the result when a mixed batch contains documents of different lengths.

• A new text label on each page included in the selected range.
• The chosen position, start value, format, font appearance, color, and margins.
• A separate output file whose name ends in -numbered.pdf.
• No automatic merging of batch files into one PDF.
• No automatic continuation of numbering from one batch file to the next.
• No automatic restoration of open-password protection on the downloaded copy.

If the PDF requires a password to open, an unlock box appears beside the file. Enter the known open password and select Unlock; the editor then opens with the Page numbers and Bates panel. The password is used locally in the browser. Frisqoo cannot recover a password that is not known.

The numbered download is a new PDF and is not automatically protected with the source password. If the result must require a password to open, download it, review the numbering, and run the numbered copy through Protect PDF.

Processing runs locally in your browser. Frisqoo does not upload the source file for processing, and the tool does not add a watermark or require an account. The page can keep working after the required application assets have loaded, but a refresh may require the connection again.

PDF size, page count, uploaded fonts, and the number of files in a batch all use browser memory. Very large jobs may work better as smaller batches or on a device with more available memory. Keep the tab open while the PDF is being rebuilt and downloaded.

• Add Page 1 of N labels to a report, proposal, or contract.
• Leave a cover unnumbered by starting the range on page 2.
• Continue a chapter or appendix from a chosen start value.
• Create padded Bates labels for records and document productions.
• Apply the same footer position and text style to a batch of PDFs.
