PDF Page Numbers — Obsidian Plugin

Adds configurable page numbers to your PDF exports from Obsidian.

Features

  • Automatic page numbering — every page in your exported PDF gets a number
  • Built into the native export flow — adds a page-number toggle to Obsidian's PDF export dialog
  • Multiple positions — bottom-center, bottom-left, bottom-right, top-center, top-left, top-right
  • Flexible formats — "1", "Page 1 of 5", or a custom template
  • Skip first page — optionally hide the number on page 1 (title pages)
  • Configurable style — font size, color, and margins

Requirements

  • Obsidian desktop 1.12.4 or newer

Installation

How It Works

Obsidian 1.12.4 exports PDFs from a hidden popup window rather than the main note view. This plugin patches that popup's print flow so it can inject page-number header/footer options at export time.

The plugin also keeps a DOM-based fallback for Obsidian print views, but the primary path is the hidden export popup used by the built-in PDF dialog.
