Hi,
I want to combine some papers into a single pdf file "with page
numbers". I am including the papers using
\copypages[filename]
However, the pagenumber is not printed when the paper is a scanned
copy. I guess this is because the page number is printed and then the
scanned image is printed on top of it, thereby hiding the page number.
How can I force the page number to appear on top?
Thanks,
Aditya

I tried layer, and it almost works. How do I get the layer to be
evaluated at each page. I get pagenumber=1 on all pages.
\definelayer
[pagenumber]
[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,state=continue]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={foreground,pagenumber}]
\setlayer[pagenumber]
[corner={right,bottom},location={left,top},x=1cm,y=1cm]
{\tfb \getnumber[page]}
with layer state=start I get the page number on only the first page.
With state=repeat|continue I always get 1. What should I use so that
the layer is evaluated again on each page?

This is what I ended up doing
\startsetups pagenumber
\setlayer[pagenumber]{\tfb \getnumber[page]}
\stopsetups
\setupfootertexts[\setups{pagenumber}]
This makes sure that the layer is re-evaluated on each page. This
works fine but is there a better way to do this? If not, how about
adding something like
repeat=page
so that the layer is evaluated on each page?
