As Serge already mentioned, now there is no possibility to insert a page number and/or a page count programmatically from a GAS, but there is a workaround by creating a document, in the Editor, inserting a page number to the footer by clicking the Insert->Page number->Bottom of page menu item, saving the document and using a copy of this document as a template in the script. The File.makeCopy method services to make a copy of the template.

As far as I know there is no way to handle page numbers in GAS, there is an issue on that subject, You could star it to keep informed if something changes... and kind of vote for it by the way ;-)
