Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering at a page other than 1?
Yes. The tool has a "start at" field to offset the numbering.
Will numbers respect existing headers or footers?
Numbers are drawn at absolute positions. If the PDF already has header content there, you may want to shift position slightly.
Is my PDF sent to a server?
No. This runs locally.
