To add to the above anwser

  options = { 
      'margin-bottom': '0.75in', 
      'footer-right': '[page] of [topage]',
     }  
pdfkit.from_string('Hello World', 'out.pdf', options=options)

Will give the output 1 of 2

the following are the other variables can be substituted.

  • [page] Replaced by the number of the pages currently being printed
  • [frompage] Replaced by the number of the first page to be printed
  • [topage] Replaced by the number of the last page to be printed

  • [section] Replaced by the name of the current section
  • [subsection] Replaced by the name of the current subsection

Adding options should allow for creation of page numbers as follows:

options = {
   'margin-bottom': '0.75in',
   'footer-right': '[page]'
   }
pdfkit.from_string('Hello World', 'out.pdf', options=options)

According to PDFKit's documentation you can use all of wkhtmltopdf's options
