Frequently Asked Questions

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

Use the starting number offset to control the displayed number, and specify which pages to skip from numbering.

Numbers are displayed as plain integers (1, 2, 3 …). Roman numeral and custom format options are available in the Full PDF Editor.

Is there a page limit?
