Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Roman numerals?

Yes, select the 'i, ii, iii' format to use lowercase Roman numerals for your page numbers.

What font is used for page numbers?

Page numbers use Helvetica, a clean and universally readable font. You can adjust the size from 6 to 24 points.

Is this processed on your servers?
