Common questions
How do I number pages but skip the cover?
Enter 2- in "Pages to number". Page 2 then shows 1, unless you change the first number to 2.
Can the numbers continue from another document?
Yes. Set the first number, for example to 25, and the first numbered page shows 25.
Will the numbers cover my text?
They are placed 10 mm from the edge by default, in the margin of most documents. If they overlap, change the position or the distance from the edge.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are added in your browser, and the file is never sent to our server or anyone else.
