Ah, I think I now know what you're looking for.
Basically you just want a page number at the bottom of your page, and that has actually nothing to do with the report header or footer, but just with the pdf file.

You can do this using the pdf layout painter, or, if you're a real code monkey by editing the compound request in the text editor.
What you are looking for is the layout of the master page. You can specify just about anything to go on each and every page of your pdf by specifying the master page.
I don't know exactly what the approach would be using the painter, but in the code it looks like:

PAGELAYOUT=ALL, NAME='Page master',$
OBJECT=STRING, NAME='Page', TEXT='Page <ibi-page-number/>', POSITION=(3.5 11.5), MARKUP=OFF,
        WRAP=ON, DIMENSION=(6.0 0.2) FONT='ARIAL', COLOR=RGB(128 128 128), STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=9, $

When you put something like this in the compound definition, you'll get you footers independently of what's in your report.
