Frequently asked questions
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting number to anything, useful when the file is a chapter of a larger document.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Set "start on page" to 2 and the cover stays clean.
What font is used?
Helvetica, embedded in every PDF reader, so the numbers render identically everywhere.
