Page numbers that match how the document is actually used
A page number in the wrong spot, or the wrong format, is a small thing that makes a document look unfinished. Folia gives you the controls that usually only show up in desktop word processors: six placement options, five common formats from a plain “1” to “Page 1 of 24,” a custom starting number for documents that continue from an earlier volume, and the option to number only a page range instead of the whole file.
It's a common last step before sending a contract out for signature, submitting a manuscript, or printing a binder of reference material — anywhere a reader needs to know where they are and how much is left.
- Six placement options, top or bottom
- Five ready-made formats, or start from any number
- Apply to the whole document or a custom range
- Numbers are real embedded text, not an image
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from something other than 1?
Yes — set any starting number, which is useful when a file continues numbering from an earlier volume or chapter.
Can I number only part of the document?
Yes — switch “Apply to” to a custom range, like 3-40, to skip a cover page or appendix.
Will the numbers look different depending on my PDF reader?
No — numbers are drawn as standard embedded text using a widely supported font, so they render consistently everywhere.
