Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes, set any starting number before generating the document.

Where can the page number be placed?

Choose from the common corner positions or bottom-center.

Is the PDF uploaded to add page numbers?

No, page numbers are drawn locally using a client-side PDF library.

Troubleshooting

Why is the page number missing or overlapping other content?

On pages with dense edge-to-edge content, try a corner position with more empty margin, or a smaller font size.

Why can’t I add page numbers to my PDF?

Encrypted PDFs can’t be modified locally without the password — remove protection first and try again.
