We currently do not write out per page information. In fact once the
option to choose a pagesize is in place (I've got the basics working
already I'll finish the backend of the dialog by Monday for sure) the
relationship between text and page number is rather arbitary since it
depends on the page size.
Doing anything else is a hell of a lot more work. For the time being just
having the choice of landscape or portrait is a nice feature.
