Hi @Muralisagar 

You can definitely make this happen. This may sounds odd, but I typically don't use the Header or Footer tools in the Reporting category. Why? because there's nothing in those tools that can't be done with other Reporting tools and any layout field can be used as a header or footer field. I bring this up because what I recommend is that you build the footer using the other Reporting tools and the Render tool can use it all the same. 

Check out the attached workflow see an example of what I'm talking about and let me know if you have any questions.

In the Render tool configuration, there's a setting just below where you set the Footer field to set "Header/Footer Edge Distance (points)" increase this value to move the footer from the bottom edge.

But how do you get a page count?
