Frequently asked questions
How do I leave out the cover page?
Enter 2- in the pages field and set the start number to 1. The second page will then show the number 1.
Do the numbers cover existing content?
They are placed close to the page edge. If your document already has content there, choose another position.
What does "1 / 10" count?
The total is the number of pages that receive a number, so it matches what readers see.
