Hi Fredrick,

You could do it two ways

  • Edit the print preset you are using to export the pdf out of InDesign, and set it to include page information. This will add some more details to the created pdf, like document name, page number, time of export etc. Below is the screenshot showing where you can switch this setting

  • Second option is to use page number marker in a textframe which is placed on each page. This will automatically add page number to the textframe depending upon which page the textframe is placed. You could create your textframe on a master page and insert page number using right click inside the textframe and and then choosing "Current Page Number" as shown below.
