FAQ

Add page numbers questions

Can I choose where the page number appears?

Yes. Choose from six positions: bottom or top, aligned left, center, or right.

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful when a document continues from another file.

Can I show “Page X of Y” instead of just a number?

Yes. Turn on the “Page X of Y” option before adding the numbers.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Numbering runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
