FAQs

Can I start page numbers from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set any starting number in the start field. The first page of the PDF will show that number.

Where are the page numbers placed?

Choose from Bottom Centre, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, or Top Centre. The number is placed in the margin area of each page.

Does adding page numbers change the original PDF?

No. PDFKat creates a new copy with the numbers added and leaves your original file untouched.
