Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a specific number?

Yes. Set any starting number — handy when your document continues from another file or skips a cover page.

Where can the numbers go?

Any of six positions: top or bottom, left, center or right. The live preview shows exactly where they'll land.

Is my file uploaded?
