Page Labels In Pdf
Page labels in PDF are a practical way to make long documents easier to cite, review, and navigate, especially when the original file has no visible numbering. This tool focuses on stamping page numbers, headers, and footers using templates, so the same formatting repeats consistently across the document. Template variables such as {page}, {total}, and {date} are available, which helps create labels like “Page 3 of 24” or add a generated date for version tracking. The workflow is intentionally short: upload the PDF, fill in header/footer templates, then stamp and download the updated file. For legal or academic documents, adding a footer with {page}/{total} can reduce confusion when pages are printed or exported as images. If the PDF is going through review cycles, adding {date} to a header can help differentiate drafts without changing the underlying content. Since the output is a newly stamped PDF, the original file can be kept as the clean master while the labeled copy is used for submission or collaboration. When designing templates, keep labels short and place them away from margins that might be trimmed by printers to avoid cutting off the numbers.
