Add page numbers in your browser

Number the pages at the top or bottom, on the left, in the centre or on the right, starting from any number, padded like 001 if you want, with a word such as “Page” before the number.

Choose which pages to number, so a cover can stay blank, and add a header or footer line to every page at the same time. Numbering after merging gives one sequence across what were separate files.
