Why add page numbers to PDF?

Professional documents need page numbers — reports, contracts, manuscripts, and legal documents all require them. But if your original document doesn't have them, or if you've merged multiple PDFs that now have inconsistent numbering, you need a way to add them. AskPDF stamps clean, customizable page numbers on any PDF.
