PDF count pages

[Jose Benito Gonzalez Lopez]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how I could do in order
to get/count the number of pages of a PDF file? (from
python of course ;) )

Thanks beforehand.

Cheers,
Jose

Like this ?
Python 2.2.2 (#3, Apr 10 2003, 17:06:52)
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import pdffile
pf = pdffile.pdffile('../rfc1950.pdf')
import pages
pp = pages.pages(pf)
len(pp.pagelist) 10

This is an example of the usage of pdfplayground. pdfplayground
is available via sourceforge. There is no package at the
moment, but you should be able to check out via anon-cvs.

Wishing a happy day

That's interesting. Here's my equivalent example:

Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 2 2004, 15:04:07)
[GCC 3.2.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. from pdftools import pdffile
doc = pdffile.PDFDocument("PDFSPEC.pdf")
doc.count_pages()

518

The API shown above is from an unreleased version of pdftools
(http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/Proje...hon/pdftools/).

I browsed the code in CVS and it looks like a pretty comprehensive
implementation. Maybe we should join forces.
