Professional PDF reports, academic papers, and e-books always have page numbers. Whether you forgot to add them during creation or received an unnumbered document from a client, iCreatePDF lets you insert page numbers in seconds.
Numbering Options Available
- Position: Top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right
- Format: Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), Roman numerals (i, ii, iii), or alphabetical (a, b, c)
