To show the page number and total pages you can use this javascript snippet in your footer or header code:

  var pdfInfo = {};
  var x = document.location.search.substring(1).split('&');
  for (var i in x) { var z = x[i].split('=',2); pdfInfo[z[0]] = unescape(z[1]); }
  function getPdfInfo() {
    var page = pdfInfo.page || 1;
    var pageCount = pdfInfo.topage || 1;
    document.getElementById('pdfkit_page_current').textContent = page;
    document.getElementById('pdfkit_page_count').textContent = pageCount;
  }

And call getPdfInfo with page onload

Of course pdfkit_page_current and pdfkit_page_count will be the two elements that show the numbers.
