count number of pages in pdf

[vibinChander]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to encode and decode the pdf file to identify the differences in the output files. While doing so, i like to count the number of pages available in the pdf, which would be of great help from user perspective.

I can encode and decode the pdf file but i couldn't identify a way to count number of pages in the pdf. can u guys help me on this? mirth3.3.1

Hi rauchj,

I tried the link and got into http://pdfbox.apache.org/download.html to use pdfbox apache and got apache pdfbox jar file and placed them in custom-lib folder of mirth but couldn't find those code working, neither i noticed the inclusion of additional in-built functions inside mirth.
Is this a rightway? Am I doing it correctly? .or am I going wron somewhere?

Was recently looking how to do this and couldn't find much on the forums so here's a snippet that worked using a File Reader

var srcFile = sourceMap.get('originalFilename');
var srcDir = sourceMap.get('fileDirectory');

var fileConts = FileUtil.readBytes(srcDir +'/' +srcFile);
var file = new Packages.com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader(fileConts);
var pageNum = file.getNumberOfPages();
pageNum = pageNum.toString().substring(0,1);
file.close();
