How to add page numbers to a PDF on a Mac

Preview cannot number pages. The simplest free ways are this online tool, or – if you have the original Word or Pages file – inserting page numbers there (Insert → Page Number) and exporting a new PDF.

How to add page numbers before exporting from Word or Google Docs

• Word: Insert → Page Number → Bottom of Page, then File → Save As → PDF. Use “Different First Page” to leave the cover unnumbered.
• Google Docs: Insert → Page numbers, then File → Download → PDF document.

If you only have the PDF, number it here instead of rebuilding the document.

Page numbering tips for contracts, reports and data rooms

• Use “Page 1 of 10” for contracts and anything signed – a missing page is obvious.
• For appendices, start numbering where the previous document ended, or add a prefix such as “Annex 2 – {n}”.
• In a due diligence data room, number documents after the final version is ready, so references in the Q&A (“see page 14”) stay valid.
• Need to share the numbered PDF securely? Send it as a protected link with a watermark and see who read which page.
