Can I show the total page count?

Yes, enable the “3 / 12” format.

Which page does numbering start from?

From the first page of the document, number 1.

Is the file sent to a server?

No, numbers are added in your browser.

Will the numbers cover the text?

They sit right at the edge with a margin, so they usually don't touch the main text.

Will adding numbers change the original text or layout?

No — the number is drawn on top near the margin; the existing content stays exactly as it was.

Is this useful for printed handouts or contracts?

Yes — page numbers make multi-page handouts, contracts and reports easy to reference and keep in order.
