It seems rather simple, but I can't find something like getPageCount() in the API. I can get it to return the current page, but not the total number of pages. Perhaps I'm missing it?

I would like to somehow be able to print 'Page 1 of 9' at the top of every page, where '1' of course is the current page number.

Make sure to include the using MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel; statement in your class.

Document document = new Document();
Section section = document.AddSection();

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
paragraph.AddText("Page ");
paragraph.AddPageField();
paragraph.AddText(" of ");
paragraph.AddNumPagesField();

section.Headers.Primary.Add(paragraph);
