Is anyone aware or come accross a workflow that can count the number of pages in a PDF? is it possible? I am trying to develop a workflow app so that my group can QC production data that contains thousands of pdfs but would also would like to know page counts for reporting purposes.

 

Thank you

Hi @JohnJPS , thanks for this solution, I have one quick question. Should pdfinfo.yxmd be in the same directory that PDFs are in? I'm having a little confusion on which path should be in formula tool. Thank you very much!

Hello @alteryxokan ,

Sadly I haven't had access to Alteryx for several years; (on a different team). Back in the day I would've experimented a bit with what you're asking, and perhaps you could do just that and see how it goes, and/or ask a new question referencing this one, so that the latest greatest group of Alteryx gurus will see the new question and provide their expertise.

Best of luck!

John
