Finding the color pages in a PDF

There is a demo version available, and a license costs $205. You may need to help the software locate your Adobe plug-in folder upon install.

As you can see, this plug-in also gives you the option to search for the largest image in a PDF. Choose the radio button for 'Search for RGB (or Lab) colour images in the document."

By click Next, you'll be able to jump to the pages with color images on them. Color text may be ignored.
