Add Page n of nn, date, current user name to aReport Footer on PDF Report

Question

Hello,
I am very new to using Apex.
I have a SQL Report which I can output to a PDF and works.
I have a header and the contents of the report all appearing in the PDF OK.
I would like to have a footer for each page which has the date & timestamp, current users full name and page n of nn.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello Luis
Thanks for your help.
I have the first part of the current user and the date and time displayed on the bottom of the report.
The complicated bit for me it the page n of n.
I have created the report layout and copied in your code but I get an error that tells me that
the PDF cannot be opened because it is either not supported or damaged .....
Here is the contents of the Page Template:
