FAQ
Page numbers: common questions
Where can the numbers go?
You choose the position on the page, so the numbers land where they suit the document.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting number, which is handy when the PDF is one part of a larger document.
Can I show a Page X of Y total?
Yes. Choose the Page X of Y format, and each page shows its number and the total, like Page 3 of 12.
Do the numbers cover my text?
They sit in the margin area you pick, so they stay clear of the main content.
Can I remove them later?
The numbers are baked into the downloaded file, so keep your original if you might need a clean copy.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The numbers are added on your device. Your file is never sent to a server.
