Frequently Asked Questions

Is my document secure when using this tool?
Absolutely. Your PDF is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No data is transmitted to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your documents.
What is the maximum file size I can process?
The tool can handle PDF files up to 100MB. Performance may vary based on your device's capabilities and the complexity of the PDF. For best results with large documents, consider splitting them into smaller sections.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes, the tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to different screen sizes. For optimal performance on mobile, we recommend using recent versions of Chrome or Safari.
What types of PDFs are supported?
The tool supports standard PDF 1.7 format. It works best with text-based documents. PDFs with complex elements like embedded multimedia, forms, or advanced encryption may have limited functionality. Scanned PDFs are supported but won't have selectable text unless processed with OCR first.
Can I add page numbers to specific pages only?
The current version adds page numbers to all pages. For selective numbering:
  • Split your document into sections using another tool
  • Process each section separately with appropriate starting numbers
  • Merge the processed sections back together
We're working on adding selective page numbering in a future update.
Why isn't the tool loading my PDF?
If you're having trouble loading a PDF, consider these solutions:
  • Ensure you're using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Check that the file has a .pdf extension
  • Verify the file isn't password-protected
  • Try a smaller file to test if size is the issue
  • Clear your browser cache and try again
If problems persist, try a different PDF to confirm the tool is functioning properly.
Can I customize the font style of page numbers?
The current version supports font size and color customization but uses a standard sans-serif font. Future updates will include:
  • Multiple font family options
  • Bold/italic styling
  • Text opacity controls
  • Border and background options
