Frequently asked questions

Can numbering start at a number other than 1?

Yes. Choose an integer from 1 to 999999. The number increases by one for each page.

Where are the page numbers placed?

Numbers are placed near the bottom center using each page’s underlying coordinates. Review PDFs with pre-existing rotation.

Can I number only selected pages?

This version numbers every page. It does not offer page-range or first-page exclusion controls.

Where are my documents processed?
