PyPDF2: how to add a footer to a pdf?

Question

In PyPDF2, how to add a footer to every page of a pdf file? Do I have to do something like

page5 = reader.pages[4]
page5.mediabox.right = page5.mediabox.right / 4
page5.mediabox.top = page5.mediabox.top / 4
writer.add_page(page5)

or is there a predefined footer function?

http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2012/07/10/an-intro-to-pyfpdf-a-simple-python-pdf-generation-library/, tells you how to do a footer on each page — chris, Jan 23 '15 at 01:16
@chris it's using another library - I prefer to stick with pypdf2 if possible — Lynob, Jan 23 '15 at 01:17
