    PDF count pages

    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.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
      >>> import pdffile
      >>> pf = pdffile.pdffile ('../rfc1950.pdf')
      >>> import pages
      >>> pp = pages.pages(pf)
      >>> len(pp.pagelist )[/color][/color][/color]
      10[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
      >>>[/color][/color][/color]

      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.

          [...]

          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.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
          >>> from pdftools import pdffile
          >>> doc = pdffile.PDFDocu ment("PDFSPEC.p df")
          >>> doc.count_pages ()[/color][/color][/color]
          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.
