Page Control while HTML to PDF Conversion using Select PDF - vb.net

Question

I am trying to convert large HTML file to PDF. but just want to set first page and following page number.
I have used following code
converter = New HtmlToPdf()
Dim file As String = "C:\TEMP\Document5.pdf"
converter.Options.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4
converter.Options.PdfPageOrientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait
converter.Options.MarginTop = 20
converter.Options.MarginBottom = 20
converter.Options.MarginLeft = 10
converter.Options.MarginRight = 10
converter.Options.DisplayFooter = True
Dim doc As PdfDocument = converter.ConvertHtmlString(htmlString)
converter.Footer.TotalPagesOffset =2
converter.Footer.FirstPageNumber = 2
doc.Save(file)
' close pdf document
doc.Close()
but this part not working,
converter.Footer.TotalPagesOffset =2
converter.Footer.FirstPageNumber = 2
and Is there any what to know total pages?

Here's how I handle my page numbering using SelectPDF and ASP.NET MVC Razor.
for (int x = 0; x < PDF.Pages.Count; x++) {
if (x > 0 && x != PDF.Pages.Count - 1) { // will not number first/last page
PdfPage page = PDF.Pages[x];
PdfTemplate customFooter = PDF.AddTemplate(page.PageSize.Width, 33f);
page.DisplayFooter = true;
PdfHtmlElement customHtml = new PdfHtmlElement(domain + "/template/_pagenumber?pageNum=" + x.ToString() + "&totalPages=" + PDF.Pages.Count.ToString());
customFooter.Add(customHtml);
page.CustomFooter = customFooter;
}
}
And here's what my _pagenumber.cshtml file looks like...
<div style="margin-right:48px;margin-left:48px;height:46px;position:relative;top:-4px;z-index:999;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<small>Company info goes here</small>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 text-right">
<small><strong>Page #(Request.QueryString["pageNum"]) of #(Request.QueryString["totalPages"])</strong></small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
