- How do I add "Page X of Y" to a PDF?
- Type Page {n} of {total} in the footer field. Each page gets its own number and the total page count.

- Which characters are supported?
- Text uses the standard Helvetica font, which covers Latin characters including accented letters. Other scripts are not supported yet.
- Is my document uploaded?
- No. The text is added in your browser and your file stays on your device.
