PDFNumber

A LaTeX and ImageMagick Script to add line numbers to any PDF. Based on the work in tex.stackexchange.com/a/18776.

Usage

Place your pdf in the same folder as the two scripts and rename it Script.pdf.

Run sh ./findlines.sh Script to generate the files for NumberPDF.tex.

Variables

Edit the following in NumberPDF.tex to customize your numbering:

• \numpages=62 The total number of pages in the PDF.
• \numberby=2 Count by 2s, or whatever number you’d like.
• \startnumbering=2 Start numbering after n lines. Useful for skipping headers in pdfs.
• \offset=10 Offset of numbers from left margin. Useful numbers are in the range of 0–20ish.

Requirements

Requires ImageMagick commandline tools, and LaTeX.
