Frequently asked questions

Can I change the numbering later?

Yes, until you download the document. In the ⋯ menu → Page numbers…, you can adjust the settings or remove the numbering.

How do I start numbering from a different number?

Enter a starting number in the settings – for example 5, if the document follows on from another one.

Are landscape pages numbered correctly too?

Yes. The number is placed according to how the page is displayed, even if it’s rotated.

Can I add a watermark as well?

Yes, on the Watermark tab in the same window.
