Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes, set any starting number — useful if this PDF is a continuation of another document.

What formats are available?

Plain numbers ("1, 2, 3…"), "Page 1, Page 2…", or "Page 1 of 12" style with the total page count included.

Will page numbers be added to a page that already has one?

Yes, the tool doesn't detect existing numbers — it stamps a new one wherever you choose, so double-check the source PDF doesn't already have numbering in the same spot.

Can I skip numbering the first page, like a cover sheet?

Not directly — numbering applies to every page starting from your chosen number. A common workaround is to split off the cover page first, number the rest, then merge them back together.
