How can I get the total count of total pages of a pdf using pdfminer in python

Question

In PyPDF2 pdfreader.getNumPages() gives me the total number of pages of a pdf file.

How can I get this using pdfminer?

Answer 1

Using pdfminer,import the necessary modules.

from pdfminer.pdfparser import PDFParser
from pdfminer.pdfdocument import PDFDocument
from pdfminer.pdfpage import PDFPage

Create a PDF parser object associated with the file object.

fp = open('your_file.pdf', 'rb')
parser = PDFParser(fp)

Create a PDF document object that stores the document structure.

document = PDFDocument(parser)

Iterate through the create_pages() function incrementing each time there is a page.

num_pages = 0
for page in PDFPage.create_pages(document):
    num_pages += 1
print(num_pages)
