See our ezine on counters:
http://omegaconsultinggroup.com/Services/ezv2i04.html

As you note, there is a Page counter. Just like all counters, there is a 1 
argument form (which gives the current counter value) and a 2 argument form 
(which gives the counter value at a given CellTag).

So go to the last cell of your notebook and give that a CellTag (say 
LastCell). Then, use CounterBox["Page", "LastCell"] in your footer.
