Capture page count in multiple PDF files

[beastridge]

Looking for a way to capture the file name and page count in many, over 10,000, PDF files and write to a text or csv file. The files are nested in 100's of folders and sub folders. Currently we have a csr writing this data into a spreadsheet but that is very time consuming. This is done, more or less, for data collection to determine job costs. Each file has a copy count of two, so the quantity of each is static. I am trying to get approval to purchase the database module but until then I wanted to see if there was another way to do this in Switch. We do have the scripting module but I am not knowledgeable enough with scripting to do this at this time. Thank you for your time!

Hi beastridge

I developed a script/module, which allows to do exactly what you are looking for (amongst a lot of other things - basically, you can log anything in a txt/csv file - it is completely configurable and this will suit many more use cases than only this one).
The cost of this script is much cheaper than the database module (and everything logged here would be possible to be imported to a database the day you would like to upgrade to the database module).
If you are interested in, just PM me and I'll explain more about it.

Best,
Christian

You can also do some database stuff with this script: https://github.com/open-automation/switch-sql-query
