David - works like a charm.

Richard, I imagine your method might work just as well.  I'm just not that 
familiar with unix commands.

Thanks!

How Many Pages are in a PDF?

2013-05-29 Thread Ray Horsley 
Anybody know how to get this?  I've tried loading the PDF into a player but 
this only gives me access to things in terms of time such as the TimeScale and 
the CurrentTime of the player.

from unix commands,

pdfinfo thefile.pdf

and grep for pagess, or

strings thefile.pdf | grep Count | tail -1 |sed -e s/.*Count.\([0-9]\{1,\
}\).*/\1/

checks for page indicators.

I've used both.
