## FAQ

### 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.
