What do you consider as a "8 pages"?
8 pages from one worksheet or 8 worksheets?
If the former, a simple footer setup will place the footer on all 8 pages.
If the latter...........................
To add a footer to 8 worksheets, select all 8 sheets using SHIFT + Click.
Set your footer on the active sheet and will be done to all.
Ungroup the sheets when done.
