[R] Adding page numbers to existing PDFs

I have multipage PDF files that were created in R — the files do NOT have page numbers.  I would like to add page numbers after the fact, i.e., read a file into R, add margin text, then output as a PDF.
Can this be done in R (base R or a package)?  
It can be done in Python using reportlab.pdfgen — however, the file size increases prohibitively.
