Add PDF Page Numbers questions
Short answers, then the practical details.
Can I skip the cover or start numbering at a different number?
Yes. Set the page range and First number independently. Skip the cover page leaves PDF page 1 unnumbered, and the first page you do number receives your chosen starting value.
How does facing-page numbering work?
Choose a left or right position and enable Mirror even pages. Odd PDF pages use the selected position and even PDF pages use the opposite side. Centered numbering stays centered.
Are the numbers visible when the PDF is printed?
Yes. The tool adds visible text to the PDF itself, which prints with the document. It preserves the original selectable text and page order. A digital signature may become invalid after editing.
