[RPG] Can skill ranks be spent at level 1

pathfinder-1eskills

Can a character put skill ranks into skills at level 1? I am brand new to Pathfinder and don't know if that's allowed. All the information I get is from Masterwork Tools, which was very vague on the subject.

Chargen software is useful but is no substitute for learning the rules for creating a character. To learn the rules of creating a character you should read the “Generating a Character” section of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (p. 14), or the Character Creation section of the online System Reference Document (SRD).

For skills, the answer is found in Step 4 (in the book; oddly it's Step 5 in the SRD), which instructs you to (and how to) allocate your skill ranks at 1st level.
