While there are dynamic elements in PDF it is a display format like JPG or HEIF and you only see what the creating application was told to put in the document. So if you created a document in Word and printed it to PDF there will only be page numbers if you created the page numbers in Word. By design, PDF only shows the original content and shows it exactly the same way on every device. There are document display apps like Books that can modify the displayed pagination and numbering of a PDF document, but those are a special case for a specific purpose and are contrary to the basic concept of PDF.
