There is no CLUG

Adding page numbers to PDF/PS book

2003-02-03 Thread Carl Cerecke
I've got a book with 300 pages in PDF. The contents pages refer to page numbers, but the book itself has no page numbers on any of the pages. Is there anyway I can add page numbers onto each page in the PDF or convert to PS and add the numbers to the PS? Cheers, Carl.
