            // Get total number of pages
            int totalPages = new PdfFileInfo(_dataDir + "sample.pdf").NumberOfPages;

            // Create formatted text for page number
            FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText($"Page # of {totalPages}",
                System.Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite,
                System.Drawing.Color.Gray,
                FontStyle.TimesBoldItalic,

Custom Numbering style

The PdfFileStamp class offers the feature to add Page Number information as stamp object inside PDF document. Prior to this release, the class only supported 1,2,3,4 as page numbering style. However, there has been a requirement from some customers to use custom numbering style when placing page number stamp inside PDF document. In order to accomplish this requirement, NumberingStyle property has been introduced, which accepts the values from NumberingStyle enumeration. Specified below are values offered in this enumeration.

  • LettersLowercase
  • LettersUppercase
  • NumeralsArabic
  • NumeralsRomanLowercase
  • NumeralsRomanUppercase
 public static void AddCustomPageNumberInPdfFile()
        {
            // Create PdfFileStamp object
            PdfFileStamp fileStamp = new PdfFileStamp();

            // Open Document
            fileStamp.BindPdf(_dataDir + "sample.pdf");

            // Get total number of pages
            int totalPages = new PdfFileInfo(_dataDir + "sample.pdf").NumberOfPages;

            // Create formatted text for page number
            FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText($"Page # of {totalPages}",
                System.Drawing.Color.AntiqueWhite,
                System.Drawing.Color.Gray,
                FontStyle.TimesBoldItalic,
                EncodingType.Winansi, false, 12);

            // Specify numbering style as Numerals Roman UpperCase
            fileStamp.NumberingStyle = Aspose.Pdf.NumberingStyle.NumeralsRomanUppercase;

            // Set starting number for first page; you might want to start from 2 or more
            fileStamp.StartingNumber = 1;

            // Add page number
            fileStamp.AddPageNumber(formattedText, (int)PageNumPosition.PosUpperRight);

            // Save updated PDF file
            fileStamp.Save(_dataDir + "AddPageNumber_out.pdf");

            // Close fileStamp
            fileStamp.Close();
        }
