Yes. Set the starting page to 3 and the starting number to 1, so the third page displays as page 1.
Page numbers are placed in the margin area. Adjust the margin offset if your document has narrow margins to avoid overlap.
Currently the tool applies one style to the entire document. For mixed styles, process sections separately and merge them.
