Macro to Get Page Count of PDF Files
SEE ON UPDATED ON THIS POST IN THE TIP OF THE NIGHT FOR APRIL 13, 2017.
There's some VBA code posted on this site,
https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/347911-visual-basic-applications-page-count.html
Press ALT + F11 from Excel in order to enter Visual Basic. Right click on a Module and select Insert . . . Module . Then paste the below code in. [You may want to copy the code directly from the mrexcel.com, as the Wix text editor may alter the formatting of the code so it doesn't work.]
On the line beginning My Path = , enter the path to the directory containing the PDFs that you need page counts for.
Press the play button and the macro will generate a list of the file names in column A and their page totals in column B.
Thanks to Haluk for posting this code!
