Good to know
- Numbers sit upright at the edge you choose, even on pages that are turned sideways.
- Numbers go on top of the page, so they can cover content that runs to the edge. Choose a wider margin if they do.

Questions
Can I leave the cover page without a number?
Yes. Choose "Skip the first page", or choose a range of pages. The first numbered page gets the start number you set.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set "Start at" to any number, for example 5 for a chapter that continues another file.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Yes. Enter the file's password when asked; it is used on this device only. The new file is not password-protected.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser does the work on this device, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Nothing is sent to a server.
