dompdf - How to add page number using view with laravel

Question

I integrate dompdf inside my laravel projet. I return a blade view as PDF and works all fine but I don't know how to show number of pages.

For example I want to show in header Page 1 of 4 ... Page 2 of 4 ... etc

This is how I return the PDF:

$pdf = PDF::loadView('file-pdf', $data);
  return $pdf->download('filename.pdf');

Try to add this to your vie. Make sure you have "DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP" => true, in dompdf.php. also, make sure your content doesn't pass php code unescaped since that would leave arbitrary code to be run as said in dompdf docs.

<script type="text/php">
if (isset($pdf)) {
   $font = $fontMetrics->getFont("Arial", "bold");
   $pdf->page_text(555, 745, "Page {PAGE_NUM}/{PAGE_COUNT}", $font, 7, array(0, 0, 0));
}
</script>
