Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I choose where the page numbers appear?
- Yes. ToolMint supports header and footer placement with left, center, or right alignment, and a custom margin setting.
- Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
- Yes. You can set any starting number, which is useful when numbering chapters or sections of a larger document.
- Can I skip the first page (cover page)?
- Yes. Use the page range option to start numbering from page 2 or any other page, leaving the cover unnumbered.
- Does adding page numbers affect the PDF quality?
- No. Numbers are drawn as clean vector text on the PDF canvas — no re-compression or quality loss.
- Is my PDF secure?
- Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server.
