* Create page X of Y:
* Create a running footer "Page x of y" on each page of the document
*
* On each page a running header or footer "Page x of y" is required where x is
* the current page number and y is the total number of pages in the document.
* Since y is only known after creating all pages, the number y must be added
* to each page after creating the bulk of the document.
*
* This topic demonstrates the use of suspend/resume_page().

* Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
* Required data: none
