You can use the DocumentPage PageNumber property to first get the page number you are on, and then populate an AnnTextObject text annotation with that value. You can add this annotation onto each page of your PDF file. Here is some code that demonstrates this: AnnTextObject textObj = new AnnTextObject(); AnnContainer container = new AnnContainer(); double inch = 720.0; using (var document = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile("Leadtools.pdf", new LoadDocumentOptions())) { foreach (DocumentPage page in document.Pages) { textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 1 * inch)); textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(2 * inch, 1 * inch)); textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(2 * inch, 2 * inch)); textObj.Points.Add(LeadPointD.Create(1 * inch, 2 * inch)); // Set the text textObj.Text = page.PageNumber.ToString(); container.Children.Add(textObj); } Once that annotations are added, you can embed the text into your final output PDF file using a similar approach: DocumentConverter docConverter = new DocumentConverter(); docConverter.SetDocumentWriterInstance(new Leadtools.Document.Writer.DocumentWriter()); docConverter.SetAnnRenderingEngineInstance(new AnnDrawRenderingEngine()); var jobData = new DocumentConverterJobData { AnnotationsMode = DocumentConverterAnnotationsMode.Embed, Document = virtualDocument, OutputDocumentFileName = @"C:\LEADTOOLS22\Resources\Images\BurnAnnotationsDoc.pdf", DocumentFormat = Leadtools.Document.Writer.DocumentFormat.Pdf, }; var job = docConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData); docConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job); foreach (var error in job.Errors) Console.WriteLine($"There was an error:{error.Error}"); } https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/dh/ac/anntextobject.html https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/tutorials/dotnet-console-burn-annotations-to-a-leaddocument.html

This method would work. First, download and Import Spire.PDF.dll as reference to your project, then use following code to add page number X of Y to PDF document. using Spire.Pdf; using Spire.Pdf.Widget; using Spire.Pdf.Graphics; using System.Drawing; namespace AddPageNumber2Pdf { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument (); doc.LoadFromFile( "Test.pdf" ); //set the margin PdfUnitConvertor unitCvtr = new PdfUnitConvertor (); PdfMargins margin = new PdfMargins (); margin.Top = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(2.54f, PdfGraphicsUnit .Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit .Point); margin.Bottom = margin.Top; margin.Left = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(3.17f, PdfGraphicsUnit .Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit .Point); margin.Right = margin.Left; //draw page number DrawPageNumber(doc.Pages, margin, 1, doc.Pages.Count); //save the file doc.SaveToFile( "AddNumber.pdf" , FileFormat .PDF); System.Diagnostics. Process .Start( "AddNumber.pdf" ); } private static void DrawPageNumber( PdfPageCollection section, PdfMargins margin, int startNumber, int pageCount) { foreach ( PdfPageBase page in section) { page.Canvas.SetTransparency(0.5f); PdfBrush brush = PdfBrushes .Black; PdfPen pen = new PdfPen (brush, 0.75f); PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont ( new Font ( "Arial" , 10f, FontStyle .Bold), true ); PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat ( PdfTextAlignment .Right); format.MeasureTrailingSpaces = true ; float space = font.Height * 0.75f; float x = margin.Left; float width = page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width - margin.Left - margin.Right; float y = page.Canvas.ClientSize.Height - margin.Bottom + space; y = y + 1; String numberLabel = String .Format( "{0} of {1}" , startNumber++, pageCount); page.Canvas.DrawString(numberLabel, font, brush, x + width, y, format); page.Canvas.SetTransparency(1); } } } }
