How can you automate getting page numbers into a PDF, or can you?

We have reports that are created in Business Objects. We have an off shore team that produces them.
One issue is we create a PDF from the BO, but we have to manually set up page numbers on the adobe side.
This should be something that can be automated, or we think it can be automated. Can anyone point me in the
right direction to get this done, its a PIA every week when we get a new batch of reports.

Thanks
 
If you process the output in Word before generating the PDFs from there, you can easily add thee page #s via a single PAGE field in the page header or footer. Even the insertion & formatting of the field, then saving as PDF could be handled with a macro.
