Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes — set any starting number. Useful when numbering a chapter that continues from a larger document.

Where can I position the page numbers?

Bottom-left, bottom-centre, bottom-right, top-left, top-centre, or top-right.

Can I skip the first page?

Yes — useful for title pages or cover pages that should not be numbered.

What font is used for page numbers?

Helvetica, which is available in all PDF readers. Font size is adjustable.

Will page numbers overlap my existing content?

Page numbers are placed in the margin area. If your PDF has content right at the edge, there may be overlap — increase the margin offset if needed.
