Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip numbering the first page?+
Yes. You can set an offset so the first visible number appears on page 2 — useful for documents with cover pages.
What number formats are supported?+
Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), lowercase Roman (i, ii, iii), uppercase Roman (I, II, III), and alphabetical (A, B, C) are all available.
Will the numbers overlap existing content?+
Numbers are placed in the page margins. If your PDF has very small margins, you may want to crop it first to create space.
