FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your PDF files are never sent to or stored on any server, so even confidential documents are safe.
Can I use Japanese text for the watermark or page numbers?
Both page numbers and watermarks support Latin letters, numbers, and symbols. Due to standard-font limitations, full-width characters such as Japanese cannot be rendered directly, so we recommend Latin text.
What page-number formats are available?
You can choose "1" (number only), "1 / 5" (with total), "1 of 5", "Page 1", "- 1 -", and "P.1". The start number is configurable too, so you can start "1" from the second page to skip a cover.
Will my original layout be affected?
Your original page content is preserved, and the numbers and watermark are drawn on top of it. The layout is never rebuilt. For PDFs with tight margins, adjust the font size and margin settings.
Can I process password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted (password-protected) PDFs may not be processed. Please remove the password before loading such files.
