- A PDRectangle object has a getHeight() method as well as a getWidth() method... It's documented here: http://pdfbox.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/common/PDRectangle.html
- The results of these methods are floats, representing the page size in PostScript points. To convert them to inches you need to divide them by 72. - A PDF does not have a single height and width definition. It contains multiple pages boxes, each one used for different purposes. So there isn't a single answer to the question: What is the page height and width of a PDF? Usually, the default property used by most application is the Crop box, though. PS - I recommend using the findMediaBox (or findCropBox, or whatever) methods over the getMediaBox ones.
