  3. 3Download the numbered document.

Questions people ask

Where are the numbers placed?

Centred at the bottom of each page by default, the convention for printed documents.

Will the numbers print?

Yes. They are drawn into the page, not added as an annotation layer.

The PDF toolkit that reads your documents too

Doclium is a free web app for working with PDFs: merge, split, compress, rotate, protect and convert them in your browser, with no install and no signup to start. Where most PDF tools stop at the file, Doclium also reads it — ask a question and get an answer that cites the page it came from, so you can check it.

Chat with a PDF, summarise a long report, or translate one into another language. Clean documents up with OCR, redaction, watermarks, headers and footers, page numbers and A4 or Letter resizing. Every change can be undone, and every export is previewed before it downloads.

Private by default Your library is yours alone. Documents are scoped to your account or device and are never readable by another user.
HTTPS everywhere All traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS. Your files are not used to train AI models.
Answers with citations The assistant quotes the passage and page behind each answer, so nothing has to be taken on trust.
Free to use The tools are free, with no watermark added to your output and no account needed to begin.
