Skipping the cover shifts the count as well as the stamp, so the first numbered page reads as 1 rather than 2.

handbook.pdf (25 pages), bottom-centre, “Page 1 of N” format, cover skippedOutput
Pages 2-25 stamped “Page 1 of 24” through “Page 24 of 24”. The cover stays clean.Documents assembled from multiple sources rarely have usable page numbers — merge three reports and the numbering restarts twice. Add Page Numbers stamps clean, consistent numbers exactly where you want them: any corner or center of the header or footer, in formats from a bare "1" through "Page 1 of 25" to legal-style "A-001".
The details are covered: start counting from any value (useful when this file continues from another), add a prefix or suffix, skip the cover page, or number only a specific range. The live preview shows the actual label on your actual page before you commit.
Numbering runs locally like every PDF Studio tool, and the output is a new file — your original stays untouched.

Numbers are stamped onto the page content (not into headers/footers as live fields), so they don't renumber if pages are later rearranged. Standard PDF fonts only. Pages with edge-to-edge content may need a different corner to avoid overlap.

Yes — tick "Skip first page". Numbering starts stamping from page 2. Combine it with a custom starting number if you want page 2 to be labeled "1".
Yes. Set "Start counting at" to the next number in your sequence — a file continuing from page 40 starts at 41, and "of N" formats account for the offset automatically.
Numbers sit in the margin area (28pt from the edge). On pages with unusually full bleeds they can overlap content — the live preview shows placement on your real page so you can pick a clearer corner first.
