A friend had a small problem to add a page number on a PDF with a lot of pages.

After a quick chat, I have built this script:

if [ -d $1 ]
then
	printf "The directory already existn"
	cd $1
	rm -rf *.jpg	
else
	mkdir $1
	cd $1
fi

whereismyfont=`find /usr/share/fonts -iname "DejaVuSans.ttf"`

for (( i=1; i &lt;= $cFiles; i++))
do
	mogrify -quality 100% -font $whereismyfont 
		-pointsize 90 -draw "gravity southeast fill #000000 text 600,300 '$i/$cFiles'" 
		$1-page-$i.jpg
		printf "Page $i converted and numberedn"
done

param=""
for (( i=1; i &lt;= $cFiles; i++))
do
   dimension=$(identify -format "%[fx:(w)] %[fx:(h)]" "$1-page-${i}.jpg")
   param="${param} &gt;&gt;/PageSize [${dimension}]&lt;&lt; setpagedevice ($1-page-${i}.jpg) viewJPEG showpage"
done

gs 
  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
  -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress 
  -o "$1_final.pdf" 
   viewjpeg.ps 
  -c "${param}"
