Pablo,

Thanks, even though I use LMTX, only this form works:

[\pagenumber{} of \the\numexpr\totalnumberofpages - 1\relax]

Thanks
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

this might do the work (LMTX only):

  [\pagenumber{} of \the\numexpr{\totalnumberofpages - 1}]

For MkIV, you would need:

  [\pagenumber{} of \the\numexpr\totalnumberofpages - 1\relax]

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
