Number reports and scans while leaving the cover unnumbered
Choose a top or bottom position and set the starting number. Use the page-range field to exclude the cover, then inspect the first numbered page in the downloaded PDF.
Numbering adds visible labels. It does not rearrange pages or erase old printed numbers. Fix the order first and check that labels do not overlap footnotes, stamps or existing numbers.
