In Crystal Reports it is quite easy to reset the page number for every new group. We can do this by using the Section Expert:
Presenting the page number and the total page number per group is now quite easy. We could do so by using for instance a formula consisting of special fields:
PageNumber & " "& TotalPageCount
But we'll have a problem when we want to add the overall total pagenumber. Crystal Reports does not have an overal total pagecount special field. The only way to solve this problem - to my knowledge - is using a combination of a subreport and a shared variable.
Report Builder / SS Reporting Services
In Report Builder we can use the Built-in Fields for solving this problem.
When we want the page numbers per group, we use PageNumber and TotalPages; when we want the overall numbers, you use OverallPageNumber and OverallTotalPages.

PageNumber
|
The current page number
relative to page breaks that reset the page number. At the beginning of
report processing, the initial value is set to 1. The page number increments
for each rendered page.
To number pages within page
breaks for a rectangle, a data region, a data region group, or a map, on the PageBreak
property, set the ResetPageNumber property to True. Not supported on
tablix column hierarchy groups.
PageNumber can only be used in an expression in a page header or page footer.
