@AdamPru,

There is stamping in Aspose.Pdf API. This can be achieved in many ways. But for your purpose I think this code sample will be good:

private void Logic()
{
    // Create PdfFileStamp object
    PdfFileStamp fileStamp = new PdfFileStamp();

    // Open Document
    fileStamp.BindPdf($"{PartialPath}_input.pdf");

    // Get total number of pages
    int totalPages = new PdfFileInfo($"{PartialPath}_input.pdf").NumberOfPages;

    bool embbeded = false;

    // 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,
        embbeded,
        12);

    // 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.PosBottomMiddle);

    // Save updated PDF file
    fileStamp.Save($"{PartialPath}_output.pdf");

    // Close fileStamp
    fileStamp.Close();
}

public enum PageNumPosition
{ 
    PosBottomMiddle = 0,
    PosBottomRight = 1,
    PosUpperRight = 2,
    PosSidesRight = 3,
    PosUpperMiddle = 4,
    PosBottomLeft = 5,
    PosSidesLeft = 6,
    PosUpperLeft = 7,
}

The colors are not the best, but I did them so you know it can be done with the background.
