- Custom Sequencing: Need to start your document on page 4 because it follows a cover? Simply adjust the starting number, and the engine will seamlessly step up from there.
- Precision Styling: Personalize the appearance by adjusting the font size and edge margins to match your document's specific margins, ensuring the stamps don't clash with existing text.
