How to add page numbers to a PDF
PDFDistrict adds a number to every page of your PDF, positioned exactly where you choose — even on landscape or rotated pages, where the number still lands correctly relative to how the page actually displays. Set the starting number if the document continues from another file, then download the result immediately. All original content stays exactly as it was.
Private by design: PDFDistrict runs entirely in your web browser. No files are uploaded to any server. No account is required. Your documents stay on your device.
