Page numbers that look like they were always there
Numbered pages make long documents easier to discuss, print and file. Pick one of six positions, a style (1, Page 1, Page 1 of 10, 1 / 10, i ii iii or - 1 -), the font, size, color and margin. Start counting from any number to continue a sequence from another document, leave the cover page unnumbered, or number only a range of pages.
Numbers are added as real text, so they are crisp when printed and readable by screen readers. Pages that are stored sideways get numbers that sit upright at the bottom as the page is displayed.
