Roman numeral page numbering is standard for prefaces, table of contents, and introductory pages in books, theses, and formal reports. Here is how to add them to a PDF for free.
Navigate to the page numbers tool in any browser.
In the number format selector, choose Roman Numerals (lowercase: i, ii, iii or uppercase: I, II, III). Set the starting page and position. Apply to the range of pages that need Roman numbering.
Tip: For books with both Roman numeral front matter and Arabic body pages, process the front matter pages and body pages separately with two separate operations.
Click Apply Page Numbers. Download the PDF with Roman numerals correctly placed on the designated pages.
Process in two steps: first apply Roman numerals to the front matter pages, then apply Arabic numerals to the body pages, saving between each step.
