- Go to iLovePDF’s Page Numbers tool.
- Select your PDF file or drag and drop it straight to the canvas.
- Position the page number where you want it to appear in the document.
- Select your margin size.

How can I number a section of my PDF?
The tool provides the option to number all the pages in a PDF document or just specific page ranges. If you only want to number a part of your PDF file, simply type in the page range where you want your numbers to appear.
How can I change the position of the page numbers?
You can decide where you would like your page numbers to appear in your document using the Position grid. For example, if you would like them to appear in the top-right corner of the page, just click on the top-right square in the grid. ⬇️
When you click on a square in the grid, the page thumbnails will show you exactly where the page number will be placed on your document.
