Add page numbers to pdf files. You can add the page numbers in the header or the footer on the left, right, in the centre or alternately left and right (Outside). You can select a ‘range’ of the pages in a pdf to paginate so that you can ignore pages such as a cover page or an index. Your range will start numbering at the number that you enter in the 'FirstPage Number' box. You can paginate the first few pages, maybe an index, with i, ii, iii for example and then change the settings for the other pages to number as 1, 2, 3 and so on. You can also have numbers in words, so you can end up with "Page eight" for example. And another addition is 'Nth' numbering so you can end up with "2nd Page", "3rd Page" etc. With 'Outside' you can paginate so that the page numbers appear on the left for one page and the right for the next page. Like in a book. You can change the font of the pagination and/or the colour and size of the font. You can also add text to before and/or after the page number so it can say, for example, ‘Page 7 of 53’ or ‘Page 7 ver 3.2’. You can even use emoji! You can save the pdf files created to make further use of them, such as printing or viewing, in Preview or other applications. I already have future enhancements in mind but I am always interested to hear what you would like to see added to or changed about pdf Paginate Pro. If you like pdf Paginate pro then please tell your friends about it. If you have any issues or complaints please tell me about it [email protected]
Looked promising at first
At least for a book that uses Russian Cyrillic, the cyrillic is somehow transformed such that selecting and copying words using the default Mac preview app no longer works propertly. For example: "научиться" selected and pasted from the new paginated version copies as "R̆ӯΔΘЍΓΝΒΠ" Also understanding how the user interface works is far from intuitive, but I figured it out by trial and error.
Excellent
Simple app that does what it promises: paginate a pdf. Very reasonable price. Developer extremely helpful with answering user questions. Highly recommended.
Works!
Using OSX Ventura 13.6 on iMac, I needed page numbers on a compiled PDF file. The file was created by merging multiple PDFs into a single Treasurer's report, a monthly task of mine. Paginate added the page numbers beautifully and quickly. I had to spend 5 minutes experimenting with how to discard my test page numbers as I compared various font styles and sizes. To erase the cluttered test page numbers, I simply clicked on OPEN to re-open a refreshed version of my file. Easy. I also have to use my Mac's Font Book app to see a visual of what each font would look like. Would be nice to see the fonts while in the app, but it's not a show stopper. $5 well spent, if this first-time use is any gauge of future performance. Thanks, Francis!
3.0.0 Update
The new update has just too many bugs. If the PDF you open in the app has some horizontal and some landscape pages the software just breaks. It used to work beautifully before. Also, now the page numbers appear to be a textbox on the PDF, instead of being a part of the file, and it's too easy to accidentally click on them. I'm really missing the old version of this software.
Works great
Worked perfectly to add page numbers to a large pdf document (over 100 pages) on my M1 Mac.
Extremely Helpful for Exhibit Page Numbers
This app was a huge help, and worked exactly like I needed it to on Big Sur. Used it to apply numbers to an exhibit to legal pleadings. I've worked a lot with Bates numbering in the past, and this tool works well for adding them to a document quickly. Thanks!
Just right
Nicely designed app that does one thing really well IMO. Great for adding page numbers to PDFs. Simple and not overcomplicated, but enough features to handle different needs. Nice to be able to specify before text, after text, font, text color, location, and starting number. At one point I made the error of keeping the font colored white from a prior usage and couldn't understand why the numbering was not showing on new documents (with white backgrounds), but the developer quickly pointed out that my chosen font color was my issue. Works for me!
