Why GenPDF
Add page numbers with GenPDF: what is different
Start where you need
Begin at any number and leave pages out, so a cover stays bare and the numbering starts on the page after it.
Headers, footers and Bates
Add a running header or footer with the page, the page count, the date or the file name, or legal Bates numbers such as ABC000001.
Questions
Add page numbers: questions and answers
How do I leave the first page without a number?
Choose the pages to number as 2- and set the first number to 1. The cover stays bare and the page after it is numbered 1.
Can I write “Page 1 of 10”?
Yes, it is one of the formats, with its French, Arabic, German, Spanish and Portuguese versions. For other wording, use Header & footer with {page} and {pages}, such as “Sheet {page} / {pages}”.
What are Bates numbers?
Identifiers stamped on every page of legal and audit files, such as ABC000001, ABC000002. Set the prefix, the first number, the number of digits and a suffix, and GenPDF numbers the pages in order.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The numbers are written into the pages in your browser. A scanned page is sent as an image only if you agree to have its words read, and deleted as soon as they are read.
