Frequently asked questions
- Is the PDF uploaded?
- No. Adding headers and footers happens entirely locally in your browser — the file never leaves your computer.
- Will the text come out garbled?
- No. The text is drawn with your browser fonts and embedded into the page, so it displays correctly in any language.
- How do I add "Page x of y"?
- Type the placeholders in any field, for example "Page {page} of {total}", or click one of the quick formats.
- Can I skip the cover page?
- Yes. Set "start from page" to 2 and the cover is left alone.
