Frequently asked questions

How do I skip the first page?

Set "Start numbering on page" to 2. The cover page then stays without a number.

Can I start from a different number?

Yes, change "First number". For example start at 0 to count the cover as page 0.

Will it work on rotated pages?

Yes. Numbers are placed so they read correctly on the page as you see it.

Can I add numbers to a merged PDF?

Yes. Merge first with the Merge PDF tool, then add the numbers to the combined file.
