How to Add Page Numbers Starting from a Specific Page

Start page numbering from page 3 (after a cover and TOC). Configure custom start numbers and skip pages.

Professional documents often skip numbering on the cover page and table of contents. FixMyPDF lets you configure the start page and number offset.

Scenario: Skip Cover and TOC

A document with a cover (p.1) and TOC (p.2) should show page "1" starting on p.3. In FixMyPDF: set "Start applying from page" to 3, and "Start numbering from" to 1.

Roman Numerals for Front Matter

Some documents use Roman numerals (i, ii, iii) for front matter and Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) for the main content. Apply page numbers twice: once for front matter with Roman setting, once for the rest with Arabic setting, then merge.
