Frequently Asked Questions
Quick direct-answer guides about using this utility tool locally and securely.
How can I add page numbers to my PDF?
Upload your document, select the formatting style (e.g., "Page X of Y"), choose the position (Header or Footer) and alignment (Left, Center, Right), adjust page margins, and click download.
Can I skip putting page numbers on the first page?
Yes! You can toggle the "Skip First Page" option, which is standard for documents with a cover page.
What font and color are used for page numbers?
We embed standard Helvetica font structure in the PDF. You can select the color of the text (such as gray, black, or blue) to match your layout design.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when adding page numbers?
No, KuberAgent adds page numbers entirely in your browser, so your document never leaves your device — unlike Adobe, Smallpdf and PDF24, which upload your file to a server and auto-delete it after 1-2 hours.
Can I start page numbering from a specific number instead of 1?
Yes, you can set a custom starting number — useful when a document is one part of a larger multi-file report and needs to continue the page count from where the previous section left off.
What page number formats can I choose from?
Common formats include a single number, "Page X", "X of Y" and "X/Y" — choose based on whether readers need to know their position relative to the total document length.
Can I use Roman numerals for preliminary pages like a table of contents?
Check if Roman numeral formatting is available — this is standard academic and publishing convention, where preliminary pages use Roman numerals (i, ii, iii) while the main content switches to Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3) starting from the introduction or chapter one.
Does adding page numbers affect my PDF password protection or encryption?
No, adding page numbers is a content update similar to inserting a header or footer — it doesn't weaken or remove any existing password protection or encryption applied to your document.
Does this tool work on password-protected PDFs?
You'll need to unlock or remove the password first using a PDF unlock tool before adding page numbers, since the file needs to be editable to insert new content.
Is there a page limit for adding numbers to a PDF?
Since numbering happens locally in your browser rather than on a server, the practical limit depends on your device memory — unlike Canva, which caps free users at 300 pages/100MB.
