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.
