Kitcroft

Preparing the workbench…

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open a PDF

    Choose where the number sits.

  2. Step 2

    Format

    Plain, Page X, or X of Y. Set a starting number.

  3. Step 3

    Apply

    Numbers draw in the margin, not over the body if you keep the default inset.

Why this instead of a metered editor

Sejda’s free web tools stop after three tasks an hour and cap files at 50 MB or 200 pages. Every extra step — merge, then compress, then number — burns another task. Kitcroft runs page numbers in this browser. There is no task meter and the file is not sent to a processing server. Ads in the reserved frames keep the tools free.

Questions

Will numbers cover existing headers?
They draw in from the edge. If a document already has a footer, pick the opposite margin.
