FAQ
Can I start numbering from a value other than 1?
Yes — enter any starting number. For example, start at 5 to account for a cover page or table of contents.
Which pages will get numbers?
All pages by default. You can optionally skip the first page (e.g. a cover page).
Are Cyrillic characters supported?
Yes, the built-in font supports both Latin and Cyrillic characters.
Will the page content be affected?
No. Numbers are added as a separate layer in the header/footer area — the main content is not touched.
Can I remove the page numbers after adding them?
There is no direct removal tool. Keep a copy of the original before adding numbers.
