Set how far in from the edge it should sit, and which pages get one.

Key Features & Capabilities
Designed for speed, privacy, and precision.
The frame is drawn in your browser, so a certificate or a client proof never leaves your computer.
One line, two lines, a thick line with a thin one inside, a dashed line, or corner marks for trimming.
Pick the exact colour rather than settling for black, which matters when the frame has to match a brand.
Distance from the edge in millimetres, so the frame clears whatever your printer cannot reach.
The frame is drawn as lines onto the existing page. The document underneath is untouched and stays exactly as sharp.
Frame the whole document or a selection, written as 1, 4, 7-9, odd or even. Covers often want one and the rest do not.
About the PDF Border Adder
This tool draws a frame around the pages of a PDF. A single rule for a report, two lines for something formal, a thick and thin pair for a certificate, a dashed line for a form, or corner marks for a page that is going to be trimmed.
The measurement that matters is how far in from the edge the frame sits. Ordinary printers cannot print to the edge of the paper, and a border drawn a couple of millimetres in is the classic way to discover that: three sides print and the fourth vanishes. The default here keeps clear of it, and the number is yours to change when you know your own machine.
The frame is drawn onto the existing page rather than the page being rebuilt. Nothing underneath is re-encoded, so the text stays text, the images keep their quality and the file grows by almost nothing.
Everything happens in your browser. There is no upload and no account, which is what you want for the certificates, proofs and signed documents that usually need a frame.
