Frequently asked questions

Can I skip the cover?

Yes. Set the starting page to 2 and the cover stays unnumbered.

Can I change the format?

Yes, beyond a plain number you can use formats like 'Page 1 of 20'.

What if the file already has numbers?

They can overlap. Move the position, or remove the old ones first.

Are the numbers real text?

Yes, they are added as text rather than an image.
