PDF get page count.

[Hasher]

Hi all

I'm not experienced with you using ObjCreate . , I have this code below which runs fine but doesn't return any value or throw up any errors, Can someone tell me where i am going wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Paul

$Num = GetPagesCount($File)
ConsoleWrite($Num)

func GetPagesCount($target); count pages
    $AcroPDDoc = ObjCreate("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    if @error then return -1
    $bPDF = $AcroPDDoc.Open($target)
    if @error then return -2
    $Pages= $AcroPDDoc.GetNumPages
    $bPDF = $AcroPDDoc.Close
    return $pages
endfunc

Actually, it does return an error for me. It is the -1 (which I have replaced with another number to make sure it is stopping at that point). Therefore, for me, it was not creating the object. I looked online and found this discussion:

In there, they say you must have Acrobat Writer installed to be able to create the AcroExch.PDDoc object. Do you have the needed software installed on your system?

".. they say you must have Acrobat Writer installed to be able to create the AcroExch.PDDoc object .."

The productname is Adobe Acrobat (professional or standard, however a $$$ product) and yes it must be installed to use AcroExch... object. If you only want the page count you can use a freeware commandline tool like pdfTk or you can do it with poor autoIt code, reading the pagenumber direct from the pdf-objects.
