Frequently Asked Questions
Are the page numbers selectable text?
The numbers are drawn as a high-resolution image overlay so Arabic, CJK and every other script render correctly. They look sharp in print, but they are not selectable text. The rest of the document remains unchanged.
Can I number only some pages?
Yes. Leave the range empty to number every page, or enter a range such as 1-3 or 2,4 to number only those pages.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is previewed and numbered in your browser. It never leaves your device.
Does it work with rotated or mixed-size pages?
Yes. The number is placed in the displayed orientation, so pages with rotation keep an upright number. Each page is checked individually and you get a clear error if a number cannot fit.
