Troubleshooting

Frequently asked questions

Where are the page numbers placed?
Wherever you choose — bottom or top, left, center or right. You also pick the format (1, 'Page 1', '1 of N' or '1 / N') and the starting number.
Can I start numbering at a different number?
Yes. Set 'Start at' to any value — useful when a cover page shouldn't be page 1, or when continuing from another document.
Does it change anything else in my PDF?
No. It only draws the numbers on top of each existing page; the rest of the document is untouched.
Is anything I enter uploaded?
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, stored or shared, and no signup is needed.
