FAQ
Can I write “Page 3 of 10”?
Yes. Type the format as “Page {n} of {total}” — {n} becomes the page number and {total} the number of pages.
Where can the numbers go?
Top left, top centre, top right, bottom left, bottom centre or bottom right — every number stays upright, even on rotated pages. You can also start from a number other than 1 and leave the first page unnumbered.
Does it work for Chinese, Japanese or Korean labels?
Yes. Labels outside the standard PDF fonts are drawn with your browser's own fonts, so any language renders correctly.
