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.
