  3. Download the numbered PDF.

Number reports without cloud processing

Printed packets and board decks need consistent footers. Adding numbers in the browser keeps the manuscript local while you choose position, format, start number, and page range — skip covers and appendices when needed.

Page range tips

Leave front matter unnumbered by applying numbers only to the body range. Use “Page X of N” when readers need total length; use plain digits for minimal footers.
