FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers about security, formats, and limitations.

Can I start numbering from a value other than 1?

Yes. Enter the starting number in the "Start from" field. For example, entering 5 will label the first page "5".

Are numbers added to every page?

Yes, page numbers are applied to all pages in the document.

Can I choose a font or color for the page numbers?

Currently the tool uses standard Helvetica in black. Custom color and font selection is under development.

Will page numbers overlap the document content?

Numbers are placed in the page margin area. Very narrow margins may cause overlap. Standard A4 documents are completely safe.

Can I skip numbering on the first page (title page)?

Not yet — numbering is applied to all pages. To skip the first page: add numbers, split the PDF, delete the first page, and merge the rest back together.
