Printing page numbers using Pisa

Question

I am using pisa in my django project, to make my html generate on a PDF for report functionality. Some of my reports are getting rather large and I have noticed it doesn't have any page numbering on it. Does anyone know how I can get page numbers to show up on the printed PDF report?

edit

here is how I generate the PDF

if request.POST.has_key('print_report_submit'):
            context['show_report'] = True
            context['mb_logo'] = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "../../../media/images/mb_logo.jpg")
            html = render_to_string('reports/fam_maturity_print.html', RequestContext(request,context))
            result = StringIO.StringIO()
            pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("ISO-8859-1")), result)
            response = HttpResponse(result.getvalue(), mimetype='application/pdf')
            response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=family_maturity-statement.pdf'
            return response

HTML

{% if show_report %}

<table width="100%">

    <tr>
        <td colspan="2" align="center" width="400px">

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

How says in this link:

http://www.arnebrodowski.de/blog/501-Pisa-and-Reportlab-pitfalls.html

One problem I ran into was adding a static footer to my pages, which contains a <pdf:pagenumber /> tag and should show the current pagenumber at the bottom of every page of the resulting PDF. The problem was, that every page just showed the number 0. The solution was very simple, but I was only able to figure it out after studiying the pisa source-code: You can only use the tag inside a paragraph, not (as I did) inside a table for example. Even parapgraphs inside tables don't work. It has to be a top-level paragraph.

Edit

Try this:

<div>
   <pdf:pagenumber />
</div>

Answer 2

This is working for me you need to use this its for A3 size

@page{
        size: A3;
        margin: 1cm;

      @frame footer_frame {           /* Another static Frame */
        -pdf-frame-content: footer_content;
        left: 400pt; top: 1170pt; height: 20pt;
        
    }
    }

you have to put on above table

<div id="footer_content"> Page <pdf:pagenumber>
of <pdf:pagecount> </div>
