Hey Hi,

Power Automate Desktop doesn't offer a direct action to count PDF pages. However, we can achieve this by using Two methods.

1. By using Extract Tables from PDF as shown below.

Code:
Pdf.ExtractTablesFromPDF.ExtractTables PDFFile: $'''C:\\Users\\Desktop\\Power Automate Desktop\\Projects\\Digital Signatures\\Input Files\\9102401396.pdf''' MultiPageTables: True SetFirstRowAsHeader: True ExtractedPDFTables=> ExtractedPDFTables Display.ShowMessageDialog.ShowMessage Title: $'''Pages Count''' Message: ExtractedPDFTables.Count + 1 Icon: Display.Icon.None Buttons: Display.Buttons.OK DefaultButton: Display.DefaultButton.Button1 IsTopMost: False ButtonPressed=> ButtonPressed

2.Python Script.


Run the below Python Script using Run PowerShell script action as shown in below image.

Python Code:

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}")

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards
