Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skip numbering the first page?
Set the starting number to 0 — the first page will show '0'. For more advanced skipping, split the PDF first, number the pages you want, then merge them back.
What font is used?
Page numbers use Helvetica, a standard PDF font available in all viewers without embedding extra files.
Will this affect existing content?
No. Page numbers are drawn on top of the existing page content. If existing content occupies the margin area, numbers may overlap.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your file stays on your device.
