Where can I position page numbers?

You can place numbers at the top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right. Margins and starting page are also configurable.

Can I customize the number format?

Yes. You can change the font, font size, color, and prefix/suffix text (e.g., 'Page 1 of 10').

No. Page numbers are added as a new layer and are placed in the margin area, so they will not overlap with existing page content.
