How to Add Page Numbers to a PDF

Typically, the team will request we add page numbers to the IAPs. This section will go over how to add page numbers to a PDF.

• Open PDF you’d like to add page numbers to. Ensure that any pages that need to be rotated are rotated BEFORE you had page numbers, or else the page numbers won’t be at the bottom of the page. Click “Edit PDF” from the tool list. For instructions on how to rotate pages, see the “Rotate Pages” section of Organize Pages Tool.
