Marek Novotny commented on JBSEAM-4464:
---------------------------------------

That is true like Cody commented. Norman who did Seam PDF features is not working on Seam anymore. So if a volunteer is welcome to provide a patch with this feature.

> When creating official documents it is often required to add something like "Page X of Y" to the footer. The p:pageNumber-tag provides the first value whereas a totalPages-tag is missing.
> Márcio Dantas created and published a wokarround for this under http://seamframework.org/Community/SeamPdfPageXOfY but this approach is somewhat "dirty".
> I see that it culd be problematic to provide the number of total pages while rendering the document so perhaps a placeholder could be used and altered when onCloseDocument in UIDocument is called.
