Add page numbers guide
How to start PDF page numbering from a custom number
Set the first generated number to match a larger packet, cover-page convention, or continuing document sequence.
Add the page numbers
- Choose the PDF and decide which ascending page ranges should receive labels.
- Set the first number, optional prefix, label format, position, size, colour, and opacity.
- Calculate the expected final number and compare it with the last PDF page.
Why the final placement must be checked after creation
No placement/output preview is rendered before creating the PDF.
