Can you find number of pages on PDF after scanning?

[mellodude]

Hello,

Is there a way to find out how many pages a PDF is WITHOUT opening it?

I have found out that a bunch of scanned docs to PDF were scanned incorrectly and only the first page was scanned instead of the normal 3-5 pages. We are talking about a couple of hundred possibly have been scanned incorrectly, out of a total of 900. If I could find ALL of the PDF's that were only ONE page, then I could re-assign the task to the clerk and have those re-scanned.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Phil

I don't know of any way to do that. As far as I know, the only way would be to open each doc. to see the number of pages.

Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4

mellodude - Maybe you can tell by the size of the document. If 1 page scanned gives you a file size of 30kb and 3-5 pages scanned gives you a file size of 90kb this might save you from opening all the documents.

there is an excel macro add-in called ARTS Pdf Toolkit that I have used in the past. this allows you to select the directory that contains the pdfs, and it will generate a spreadsheet with information about the pdfs including the number of pages
