Tips for numbering that reads cleanly
- Check the preview line before you run it. It shows exactly what page 1 will read, including your prefix and suffix, so a typo is easy to catch first.
- A suffix like "of 10" is fixed text, not a live count. If you add or remove pages afterward, update the suffix yourself to match.
- Keep Start numbering from at 1 or higher unless you have a specific reason to start lower; the tool accepts any number you type, including 0, without checking whether it makes sense for your document.
- Want a watermark too? Run the file through Add Watermark either before or after numbering it.
