Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add page numbers automatically?

Yes. Enable the "Show Page Numbers" toggle to add automatic page numbering in the format "1 / 10" to your header or footer.

Can I add headers to only specific pages?

Yes. Use the "Start Page" field to begin adding headers/footers from a specific page number (e.g., skip the cover page by starting from page 2).

What text tokens can I use?

Use {page} for the current page number and {total} for the total page count in your header or footer text.

Will the header text overlap my content?

The header/footer is placed in the page margin area with a configurable margin. Adjust the margin setting if needed to avoid overlapping page content.
