Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start page numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number — useful when the PDF is part of a larger document, or when you want to skip a cover page by starting at 0.
How do I add 'Page X of Y' format?
Enter 'Page ' as the prefix. For the total page count suffix, you can type static text like ' of 20', or count your pages first.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing is done locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I add numbers to a password-protected PDF?
Encrypted PDFs cannot be modified. Unlock the PDF first before adding page numbers.
What font is used for the page numbers?
Page numbers use Helvetica, a standard PDF font, in a neutral gray color so they don't distract from the content.
