Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set any starting number in the input field. Useful for documents where the cover page or table of contents is not counted.

Where exactly do the numbers appear?

At the bottom of each page. Choose left, center, or right alignment.

Will the numbers overlap with existing content?

Numbers are placed near the bottom edge with a small margin. For most documents this avoids content. PDFs with very minimal bottom margins may have slight overlap.

Can I choose a different font or size?

The tool uses a standard clean font at 11pt. Custom font options are not available in this version.

Does it work on all PDF types?

Yes. Works on text-based and scanned PDFs alike.
