Frequently Asked Questions about PDF Page Numberer
Will adding page numbers reduce PDF graphic or text quality?
No. DocxLab inserts page numbers as independent vector text runs on top of your existing PDF layers. Original page graphics, images, and fonts remain 100% unaltered.
Can I exclude the first page (cover / title page)?
Yes. Check "Skip first page (Cover)" to omit numbers on page 1 and begin numbering sequentially from page 2 onwards.
What page numbering formats are supported?
You can choose from standard "Page X of Y", shorthand "X / Y", single digit "X", prefixed "Page X", or bracketed "- X -".
Are my private PDF documents stored on any server?
No. All stamping is processed entirely inside your web browser using pdf-lib. No document is uploaded to or saved on remote servers.
