Editing the page numbers of a document

By default the documents are numbered starting with 1. You can edit the page numbers to correspond to the actual page numbers of the document. For example, with large PDF files such as workbooks, the PDF document can be split into several documents. When the document is split, the pages numbers of each sub-document start from page 1. It is advisable to edit the page numbers in the various sub-documents, so they match the actual page numbers of the document.
