Frequently asked questions
If I skip the cover, what number does page 2 get?
The first number you choose (1 by default). Set it to 2 if the cover should count as page 1.
What do the point sizes mean?
PDFs measure in points: 72 points = 1 inch (2.54 cm). An 11 pt number with a 28 pt (about 1 cm) margin suits most documents.
Can I number only some pages?
Every page from the first (or second, if you skip the cover) is numbered. To number part of a document, split it, number that part, then merge the files again.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
