Hi Jhon,

Are you working with Smartforms and OTF? If so, check this thread: Page counter over multiple Smartforms | SCN

Hi,

How about using external java command

See http://pdfbox.apache.org/index.html

Found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4134949/determine-the-number-of-pages-in-a-pdf-file

PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("file.pdf"));

int count = doc.getNumberOfPages();

Regards .

Hi,

You have a very exotic task here....

See here the use of java from SAP.

I think that I your case you will need to :

- Load the file (CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES)

- Save to a folder accessible by SAP .

- Run your external command to measure the FILE.

Regards.

Some java code:

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

{

// For test...

if (args.length == 0) {

args = new String[] { "H:/Temp/An Easy Reference for ALV Grid Control.pdf" };

}

try {

final File file = new File(args[0]);

final PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file);

final int numberOfPages = document.getNumberOfPages();

System.out.println(String.format("%d %s", numberOfPages, file.getName()));

} catch (final IOException exception) {

exception.printStackTrace();

}

Seems to be working.....

Regards.
