Frequently asked questions
Will page numbers cover existing content?
They can if the selected placement overlaps text or graphics. Preview the output and choose a clear area when possible.
Are page numbers the same as PDF page labels?
No. Visible page numbers are printed onto the page content. PDF page labels are navigation labels shown by some PDF readers.
