What numbering formats are available?

The tool supports Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...) for standard documents and Roman numerals (i, ii, iii...) for front matter or prefaces. You can also set a custom starting number.

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set the starting number to any value. This is useful for documents that are part of a larger set, or for numbering front matter separately from the main content.

Where can I place the page numbers?

Page numbers can be placed at the top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right. You can also adjust the margin distance from the page edge.

Will page numbers cover the document content?

The page numbers are positioned in the margin area and should not overlap with document content. The live preview shows the exact position before you commit, so you can adjust if needed.

Is my PDF data sent to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF file is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents.
