Posted on by xuyinaoyixue1

Hey there,

I tried to splits PFD files in one folder to each and it didn't finish the execution and then stopped. So I only have partial of PDF file split. (see below)

As below, I tried to extract all PDF stayed in PAD PDF 0 folder (in yellow) and split each of those PDF files to each per page int 'PAD PDF 1' folder naming with variable name without extension (in yellow) , but got below error message.

Would you help to take a look into that issue? Thanks!

There are total 19 pages in 9-26 BOL.PDF, but it only got 4 splits.

Hi @ xuyinaoyixue1

Please find the below solution.

PAD Code:

Python Code:

Please save the code as .py file as use it in Powershell script action.

import fitz # PyMuPDF import sys def count_pages(pdf_path): pdf_document = fitz.open(pdf_path) num_pages = pdf_document.page_count return num_pages if __name__ == "__main__": if len(sys.argv) != 2: print("Usage: python count_pages_pymupdf.py <pdf_path>") sys.exit(1) pdf_path = sys.argv[1] num_pages = count_pages(pdf_path) print(f"{num_pages}")
