Agree it's a good proposal to show the page number. However, if the user has zoomed in or resized their window and can't see the number any more, then you end up needing the page number elsewhere on the screen as well, and if they can't see all of the page on the screen they probably don't want to lose more space to toolbars/statusbars. I would suggest that the page number floated beside the top left/right corner of the *visible* page. Then when you are looking at the bottom of page 2 and the top of page 3, you'd see the 2 at the top and the 3 beside the corner of page 3. It could even float on the page with a very light colour when the user can't see the document window background. Additional benefit - when the user scrolls quickly by dragging the scroll bar, the page marker would stay in the same place. Further development could be to add contextual actions if the user selects the page number - go to page N, insert page, etc. Incidentally, if the user displays facing pages, the page numbers will need to be positioned correctly either side of the spread.
