When to use each format

  • Plain numbers (1, 2, 3) — simple reports, handouts
  • Page X of Y — presentations, legal documents where total count matters
  • Roman numerals (i, ii, iii) — prefaces, table of contents sections in academic documents

Custom start number

If your PDF is one chapter of a larger document, set the start number to match where it falls in the full document. For example, chapter 3 starting on page 47 would use start number 47.
