When to use this
Use for: theses and dissertations (bottom-center is the academic standard), business reports, legal documents, contracts (where lawyers reference specific page numbers), book manuscripts, government / compliance documents that mandate page numbering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly are the page numbers placed?
Default: bottom-center, 0.5 inch from the bottom edge of the page. You can adjust the vertical offset if your PDF has tight margins. Pages with content at the very bottom may have the page number overlap; preview before downloading to check.
Can I skip the first few pages (e.g. title page, TOC)?
Yes - the 'Start from page' setting lets you begin numbering from page 3, 5, or any specific page. Useful for academic documents where front matter (title, abstract, TOC) shouldn't be numbered, and the numbering begins at the Introduction or Chapter 1.
