Hi!

a question (maybe silly, maybe not)

In windows, used a grafical fronted to ghostscript

*free pdf fill tools*
- www.freepdffill.com

one tools of this frontend, makes you able to *stamp* numbers on pages of 
a pdf, choosing size, position, font... and so on...

Now I switched to linux, I have ghostscript, so, I think, I'm able to do 
the same thing from command-line, but I can't find or understand how 
command line options to numbering pages

can anyone help me?

thanks in advance

There is no command line option to do this that I'm aware of. Most 
likely the freepdffill tool included a custom piece of PostScript to do 
the job.

The easiest way to do this is probably a custom EndPage or possibly 
BeginPage procedure.

Assuming you are working with the converted PS from a PDF, it would also 
be possible to write a small sed script to add the necessary code to the 
PS file, and convert it back to PDF afterwards.
