Frequently asked questions
Can I skip the cover page?▾
Yes. Enter 2- in Pages to number to leave the first page blank, and set Start numbering at to 1 so the second page shows number 1.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?▾
No. The PDF is read and rewritten entirely in your browser, so private documents never leave your device.
Does it change the rest of my document?▾
No. The numbers are added as a small text layer on top of each page. Text, images, links and the page size stay as they were. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
