Questions
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Set "Leave unnumbered" to the number of pages to skip, and "First number" to the number counting should start from.
Can I add my own text around the number?
Yes. Choose "My own text" and use {n} for the number and {total} for the page count, like Report 2026 ยท {n}.
Can numbers sit on the outer edge for double-sided printing?
Yes. With a left or right position, turn on "Mirror for double-sided printing".
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are added in your browser.
