What is PDF Page Counter?
PDF Page Counter is a browser-based tool that instantly reads the page count and document metadata from any PDF file. It uses PDF.js to parse the file locally —your PDF is never sent to a server. In seconds you get the total page count displayed prominently, alongside all available document properties: title, author, subject, creator application, producer library, and both creation and modification timestamps.
How to Use PDF Page Counter
- Drop a PDF file onto the upload area or click to browse and select one.
- The total page count is shown immediately as a large number.
- Scroll down to see the full metadata grid: file name, size, title, author, subject, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date.
- Click "Count another file" to reset and analyse a different PDF.
