Can we generate the page number dynamically?

I am looking to generate page number dynamically while printing the document. Is there any possible way to do that?

Yes this should be possible. It depends on you. How do you use the sections? E.g. you can initialize a Javascript variable which is incrementing with each new section or you generate the html from an external programming language and use there a loop to increment a counter which is displayed in the html.

I use the following approach:

body {
    counter-reset: article;
}

article::after {
    counter-increment: article;
    content: attr(data-pageLabel) counter(article) " ";
    text-align:right;
    display: inline-block;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 15mm;
    right: 15mm;
    font-size: 8pt;
}

`
data-pageLabel is an attribute I use in the article tag in order to have a translatable string in HTML rather than having it inside the CSS.
