An EPUB 2 pageList (or EPUB 3 page-list) can be used by some e-readers to show the page number associated with whatever content is currently displayed and supports the ability for the user to go to a specific page in the book. It is usually created manually based on the page breaks prevent in a specific printed edition of the book.

To create a pageList you would need to insert the markup for each page number in your EPUB at the point where you want that new page to begin, a tedious process. Even if you did that I don't believe that calibre would make use of it during conversion to PDF anyway.
