Frequently asked questions

Can I leave the cover unnumbered?

Yes. Set numbering to begin on a later physical page. Pages before that point are not numbered or included in the displayed numbering sequence.

Can page numbers alternate between the left and right edges?

Yes. Enable odd/even mirroring to swap horizontal positions on even pages. A separate control flips the left/right arrangement.
