you can specify header , footer (including page numbers) css. work if tool used transform xhtml pdf byte array supports paged media instructions.

in css:

@page {      @top-center {content: element(header)}      /* header */     @bottom-center {content: element(footer)}   /* enpied */ } #header {position: running(header);} #footer {position: running(footer);} #pagenumber:before {content: counter(page);} #pagecount:before {content: counter(pages);} 

in html:

<div id="header">your header here</div> <div id="footer">page <span id="pagenumber" /> / <span id="pagecount" /></div>
