Can I number only part of the document?

Yes — set the range you want numbered. Covers and blank inserts are the usual exclusions.

Why do the numbers not match the PDF viewer's page count?

Because the viewer counts physical pages while your document counts printed folios. Set the first number to the folio the first page should show and they agree again.

Can I process several files at once?

Yes, up to 50 files in a batch, each no larger than 100 MB. Results come back together instead of one save dialog per file.

Where does the processing actually happen?

In this tab. The file is read locally, converted or edited locally, and handed back as a download — no copy is sent to a server, so there is nothing for anyone to breach or keep.

Will it work on a phone?

Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
