How to Use4 Quick Steps & Important Notes

How to Use

  1. Upload a PDF, then choose: Add page numbers, or Fix the numbers it already has.
  2. Adding: pick how the numbers look and where they go. To number only some pages or start from another number (say 51), fill in the page boxes. A sentence under them shows exactly what will happen.
  3. Fixing: press Find page numbers and check what was found. Then remove them, replace them with new ones, or fill in the pages that are missing a number.
  4. Download the new PDF.

What to Expect

  • Numbers PDFgo adds are marked, so adding numbers again replaces them cleanly.
  • Numbers from other programs are found by looking for text in the top or bottom margin that rises page by page. Each is deleted when it can be matched exactly; otherwise it is covered with a patch (the text stays underneath and the patch can show on coloured backgrounds) and you are told how many pages that was.
  • Missing numbers are added in the same wording, size and place, in plain Helvetica, so the font may differ slightly from the original.
  • Page numbers that are part of a scanned image, or written as roman numerals or mixed into a longer footer line, are not detected.
