Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start numbering from a page other than the first?

Yes. Set how many pages to skip and what number the first numbered page should carry. A report with a cover and contents typically skips two pages and starts at 1 on page three.

Are the numbers real text or images?

Real text drawn with a standard PDF font, so they stay crisp at any zoom, can be selected and searched, and add almost nothing to the file size.

Will the numbers overlap my content?

The margin setting controls the distance from the page edge. If your document already has a footer, move the numbers to the header or increase the margin.

Can I number pages of different sizes?

Yes. The position is calculated per page from that page’s own dimensions, so mixed A4 and landscape pages are numbered consistently.
