Good to know
Numbers are added on top of each page using a standard font. If a page already has content in the chosen corner, pick another position. Pages that were rotated in the original file may show the number in a different corner.
Questions and answers
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Tick the option to leave the first page without a number. The second page will still show the number 2.
Can I start from a different number?
Yes. Change First number. This is useful when your PDF is a continuation of another document.
Will it change my existing content?
No. The numbers are added on top of each page and the rest stays as it was.
Can I use Roman numerals?
Not yet. Numbers are added as digits.
