Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Add the PDF, choose the position and format, then click Add page numbers and download the numbered file.
How do I start numbering from page 2 or 3?
Set "From page" to the first page that should get a number. Use "Start at" if that page should show a different number, like 1.
Can I use "Page 1 of 10"?
Yes, choose it in the Text menu. The total counts only the pages you number.
Will numbers appear correctly on rotated pages?
Yes. Numbers are placed based on how the page appears on screen, so they're upright on landscape and rotated pages too.
