Overview
Create Page Labels applies PDF page labels to selected pages. You can choose the target pages, filter by page type, set a prefix, pick a numbering style, and define the starting number. A live preview shows the labels that will be generated.
How to use
- Open the PDF and go to Plug-Ins > Page Labels > Create Page Labels.
- Select the target pages using the page selection options.
- Optionally filter by page type (all, even, or odd pages).
- Enter an optional prefix, choose a numbering style, and set the start number.
- Review the live preview, then click OK to apply the labels.

Note
Applying labels overwrites any existing page labels on the selected pages. When As defined by document is chosen, pages without an existing style default to decimal numbering.
Tip
Use Lower Roman style for front matter (preface, table of contents) and Decimal for the main body to match traditional book numbering.
