Determine number of pages in a PDF file [closed]

问题:

I need to determine the number of pages in a specified PDF file using C# code (.NET 2.0). The PDF file will be read from the file system, and not from a URL. Does anyone have any pointers on how this could be done? Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on the PC where this check will be carried out.

回答1:

You'll need a PDF API for C#. iTextSharp is one possible API, though better ones might exist.

iTextSharp Example

You must install iTextSharp.dll as a reference. Download iTextsharp from SourceForge.net This is a complete working program using a console application.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.xml;
namespace GetPages_PDF
{
  class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
      {
       // Right side of equation is location of YOUR pdf file
        string ppath = "C:\\aworking\\Hawkins.pdf";
        PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(ppath);
        int numberOfPages = pdfReader.NumberOfPages;
        Console.WriteLine(numberOfPages);
        Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}

This should do the trick:

public int getNumberOfPdfPages(string fileName)
{
    using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead(fileName)))
    {
        Regex regex = new Regex(@"/Type\s*/Page[^s]");
        MatchCollection matches = regex.Matches(sr.ReadToEnd());

        return matches.Count;
    }
}

From Rachael's answer and this one too.

found a way at http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/21866-Count-pages-PDF-file.aspx this does not require purchase of a pdf library

回答4:

I have used pdflib for this.

    p = new pdflib();

    /* Open the input PDF */
    indoc = p.open_pdi_document("myTestFile.pdf", "");
    pageCount = (int) p.pcos_get_number(indoc, "length:pages");

回答5:

Docotic.Pdf library may be used to accomplish the task.

Here is sample code:

PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
document.Open("file.pdf");
int pageCount = document.PageCount;

The library will parse as little as possible so performance should be ok.

One Line:

int pdfPageCount = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("example.pdf").Split(new string[] { "/Type /Page" }, StringSplitOptions.None).Count()-2;

Recommended: ITEXTSHARP

PDFsharp

this one should be better =)

I have good success using CeTe Dynamic PDF products. They're not free, but are well documented. They did the job for me.

I've used the code above that solves the problem using regex and it works, but it's quite slow. It reads the entire file to determine the number of pages.

I used it in a web app and pages would sometimes list 20 or 30 PDFs at a time and in that circumstance the load time for the page went from a couple seconds to almost a minute due to the page counting method.

I don't know if the 3rd party libraries are much better, I would hope that they are and I've used pdflib in other scenarios with success.
