Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I start numbering from page 2?
A: Currently, this simple version applies numbers to all pages, but you can set the starting number to a custom value.

Q: Will it overwrite my existing footer?
A: It draws text over the existing page. If you have a footer, ensure your margin settings push the number into an empty space.
