Frequently Asked Questions

Where can the page numbers be placed?

You can position numbers at the top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right — whichever suits your document.

Can I start numbering from a specific number?

Yes. Set any starting number, which is handy when your PDF is one part of a larger document.

Are my files kept private?

Yes. Page numbers are added in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded to a server.
