Frequently Asked Questions

📄 Can I skip page numbers on the first page (title page)?

The current version numbers all pages. As a workaround, use the Split PDF tool to separate the title page, number the remaining pages, then merge them back.

🖨️ Will page numbers be printed?

Yes, page numbers are embedded into the PDF content and will appear in both on-screen viewing and printed output.

✏️ Can I change the font or size of page numbers?

The tool uses a clean default font and size. Custom font styling is not supported in the current version.

🔄 Do page numbers get added to existing page headers/footers?

Page numbers are positioned independently and may overlap with existing header or footer content. For best results, use this on documents without existing page numbers.
