Frequently Asked Questions
What position options are available for page numbers?
You can place page numbers in any of six positions: top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right. Bottom-center is the most common choice for standard documents.
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. You can set any starting number for the first page. This is useful when your PDF is part of a larger document and page numbering needs to continue from a previous section.
What number format options are available?
Four formats are supported: a plain number (e.g., "1"), "Page 1", "1 of 10", and "Page 1 of 10". Choose whichever style fits your document's requirements and professional standards.
