Add page numbers to PDF: common questions
Can I leave out the cover page?
Yes. Tick Don't number the first page and numbering begins on page 2, starting from the number you chose.
What if my pages already have something at the bottom?
The number is drawn on top of whatever is there, so choose a position that's empty. Check the first few pages of the result.
Can I number only part of a document?
Not directly. Split out the section with the PDF splitter, number it, then merge the parts back together.
