In your case, you need to add text box in the footer of document, insert page number field in it, and set its position. Please use following modified code example to get the desired output.

var document = new Document();
DocumentBuilder _builder = new DocumentBuilder(document)
{
    PageSetup =
    {
        Orientation = Orientation.Portrait,
        PaperSize = Aspose.Words.PaperSize.A4,
        RightMargin = ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(20),
        BottomMargin = ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(35),
        LeftMargin = ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(35),
        TopMargin = ConvertUtil.MillimeterToPoint(35)
    }
        };

_builder.StartTable();
_builder.InsertCell();
_builder.Write("Test test test");
_builder.EndTable();

_builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);

Shape shape = new Shape(document, ShapeType.TextBox);
shape.Stroked = false;
shape.Width = _builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.PageWidth;
shape.Height = 50;
shape.Left = 0;
shape.Left = - _builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.LeftMargin; 
shape.Top = 0;

Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
shape.AppendChild(paragraph);

_builder.InsertNode(shape);
_builder.MoveTo(paragraph);
_builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Right;
_builder.Write("Pages: ");
_builder.InsertField("PAGE", "");
_builder.Write("/");
_builder.InsertField("NUMPAGES");
document.Save(MyDir + "output.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
