Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I place the page numbers?
You can place page numbers at the bottom center, bottom left, bottom right, top center, top left, or top right of each page.
Can I start numbering from a different number?
Yes. You can set a custom starting number. This is useful for documents where the first few pages (cover, table of contents) should not be counted.
What format do the numbers use?
Standard Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...). The font size is adjustable so you can match the style of your document.
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. Page numbers are added as a text layer on top of each page, so they work on any PDF regardless of how it was created.
