Follow below steps to achieve it:

Publish vendor file via command
```
php artisan vendor:publish
```
Enable DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP from /config/dompdf.php
Pass $pdf object from controller

Use php artisan vendor:publish to create a config file located at config/dompdf.php which will allow you to define local configurations to change some settings (default paper etc). You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.

Okay thanks but inside config folder no such file dompdf.php – Amit Jul 14 '21 at 06:13
Did you installed it through composer? – Kaleem Shoukat Jul 14 '21 at 06:16
getting this error. Call to undefined method niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\Pdf::set_options()" – Amit Jul 14 '21 at 06:20
Read the documentation of the package which you are using carefully. There must be a parameter for page number. – Kaleem Shoukat Jul 14 '21 at 06:26
Yes Kaleem. I got it Thanks – Amit Jul 14 '21 at 09:56

Try this

$pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
    $pdf->loadView('welcome', ['data'=>$data]);
    $pdf->output();
    $dom_pdf = $pdf->getDomPDF();

    $canvas = $dom_pdf ->get_canvas();
    $canvas->page_text(520, 10, "Page {PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}", null, 10, array(0, 0, 0));

    return $pdf->download('safsa.pdf');;

and in view

 <footer>
            <div class="pagenum-container" style="float: right">Page
                <span class="pagenum"></span>
            </div>
        </footer>

and style

footer .pagenum:before {
            content: counter(page);
        }
footer { position: fixed; bottom: -60px; left: 0px; right: 0px; height: 50px; }
