Why recruiters add page numbers to a PDF
A recruiter merges shortlisted resumes into one packet for the hiring manager, redacts contact details for a blind first review, and sends the offer letter for signature.
Built for resumes. Whether it's resumes, shortlists, offer letters, Arthize's add page numbers to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Candidate data is personal; a private workspace keeps resumes and notes confidential.
What matters when you add page numbers to a PDF

Numbering is essential after merging documents that lost their pagination.
The numbering is written into the file, not just displayed.
