NextUtils · Worked example
A PDF inventory with the failures left visible.
See the input files, run the count and download the report. Then decide whether a recurring version would help your team.
This is a synthetic case study, not a client project. It demonstrates an output; it makes no claim about time saved, sales or customer results.
Try the worked example ↓Synthetic demonstration
From four files to a report you can check.
The three valid PDFs contain 3, 5 and 2 pages. A fourth file is intentionally invalid so you can see how a failure is reported.
Run the sample to count three valid PDFs and report one deliberately damaged file.
| File | Pages | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 01-project-notes.pdf | — | Not counted yet |
| 02-reference-pack.pdf | — | Not counted yet |
| 03-checklist.pdf | — | Not counted yet |
| 04-damaged-example.pdf | — | Not counted yet |
| Counted pages | — | Successful files only |
This demonstration downloads public synthetic files and processes them in your browser. It does not access your folders, schedule a job or upload your documents.
The recurring task this could support
Imagine preparing a weekly handover of PDF documents. You need to know which files were counted, how many physical pages they contain and which files need attention. A report that silently skips a damaged file would leave the handover incomplete.
- Input: an agreed set of PDF files, with an explicit rule for folder order, subfolders and duplicate names.
- Processing: count each document independently. Preserve its place in the report and record a failure when it cannot be read.
- Output: a CSV with filename, byte size, page count, status and message. Sum successfully counted pages only.
- Review: resolve failed files and compare the report with agreed acceptance examples before relying on the workflow.
What a paid pilot would add
ScopeMotive can quote implementation for your agreed operating system, folder structure, report columns and acceptance tests, with setup instructions and documented limitations. Scheduling, deployment and support are agreed in the scope; this public demonstration does not provide them.
OCR, password recovery, document-content validation, cloud hosting and integrations require separate discussion. A page count is not proof that a document is complete, safe or compliant. No price or delivery date is promised before scoping.
For occasional batches, use the free PDF Page Counter. You can count your own files, retry failures and export a CSV there.
