Frequently asked questions

What format options are available?

You can choose 'Page N', 'N / Total', or just the plain number. You can also set the starting page number and position (top/bottom, left/center/right).

Can I skip the first page (e.g., a title page)?

Not yet — numbers are added to all pages. A 'skip first page' option is planned.
