How to Count Pages in Multiple PDF Files

You have 200 PDF files in a folder and need to know the total page count before sending them to print. Opening each file and checking is not an option. Tiff Teller scans a folder of PDF and TIFF files, reads the page count of every document in seconds, shows the results in a table, and exports the data to Excel, CSV, Word, HTML, or 15 other report formats.

Why Count Pages in PDF Files?

Print cost estimation — a print shop charges per page. Knowing the exact total across 500 PDFs lets you calculate the cost before clicking Print.
Billing verification — a scanning bureau bills per page. Compare the invoice against the actual page count in the delivered files.
Archive inventory — an IT department needs a spreadsheet of all archived PDFs with page counts, file sizes, and creation dates for compliance audits.

Pre-flight check — before uploading documents to a portal with page-count limits, verify that no file exceeds the maximum.
Development and QA — a software team tests PDF-generation code and needs to confirm that output files contain the expected number of pages.
Document logistics — a legal team tracks page counts per case file to estimate review time and staffing.

How to Count PDF Pages and Export a Report — Step by Step

Step 1. Open the Folder

Launch Tiff Teller. The folder tree on the left shows your drives. Navigate to the directory with your PDF files. The file table populates instantly — each row shows a file with its page count, size, date, dimensions, and other properties. Enable Include subfolders to scan nested directories.

Step 2. Check Page Counts on Screen

The Pages column shows the page count for every file. The status bar at the bottom reads "PDF Files/Pages: 200/4,350" — 200 files containing 4,350 pages total. If you only need a quick count, you are done.

Step 3. Select Report Columns

Go to View → Select Columns. Tick the fields you want in the report: File Name, Pages, Size, Created, File Type, Width, Height, Compression, or any combination. Untick columns you do not need to keep the report clean.

Step 4. Export the Report

Click the Export button on the toolbar. The export wizard opens:

Choose the output format: MS Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, HTML, RTF, XML, SQL, DBF, LaTeX, ODS, MS Access, and more.
Set the destination file path.
Adjust headers, footers, column widths, and captions on the corresponding tabs.
Click Start Export.

The report is ready. Open it in Excel to sort, filter, or create pivot tables by page count, file size, or date.

Command-Line Page Counting

Tiff Teller includes a command-line interface for automated reporting:

TiffTeller.exe /s "C:\Archive\*.pdf" /o "C:\Reports\PageCount.csv" /f CSV /cols "FileName,Pages,Size"

Parameters: /s — source files (wildcards supported), /o — output report file, /f — export format, /cols — columns to include. Save this in a .bat file and run it via Windows Task Scheduler. A nightly script scans the incoming-documents folder and drops a fresh page-count report on the shared drive every morning.

Why Choose Tiff Teller?

Instant page counts for entire folders

Point Tiff Teller at a folder and get a page count for every PDF and TIFF file in seconds. No file-by-file opening, no Adobe Reader, no waiting for large documents to render. The status bar shows the grand total immediately.

Works with PDF and TIFF

Tiff Teller handles both formats in the same scan. Mixed folders with PDFs and multi-page TIFFs are analyzed together. The File Type column shows which format each file belongs to.

Metadata beyond page count

Besides pages, Tiff Teller reports file size, creation date, modification date, pixel dimensions, physical dimensions in inches, and compression type. One scan gives you a complete inventory of every document property.

Automation with command line

Schedule a nightly .bat script that scans a shared folder and produces a CSV report. Accounting, compliance, and print departments get an updated document inventory every morning without manual effort.

When Do You Need Batch Page Counting?

Print shops — a customer delivers 300 PDFs for binding. The shop needs the total page count to estimate paper, ink, and labor costs before quoting a price.
Law firms — case files arrive as hundreds of PDF exhibits. Paralegals log the page count of each exhibit in a tracking spreadsheet. Tiff Teller exports the data directly to Excel.
Scanning services — a bureau scans paper documents to PDF and bills per page. The end-of-day report from Tiff Teller confirms the total page count matches the invoice.
Government archives — digitized records must be inventoried with page counts, file sizes, and dates. Tiff Teller produces the inventory report in one click.
QA teams — automated document generation creates PDFs with variable page counts. Tiff Teller verifies that every output file meets the expected page count.

Tiff Teller Customer Reviews 2026

Rate ItRated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"Customers drop 200-400 PDFs on our FTP for binding jobs. We used to open each file in Acrobat to count pages for the quote. Tiff Teller scans the whole folder in seconds and exports an Excel report with file names and page counts. Cut our quoting time from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes."

5 Star Brian Caldwell Production Manager, Commercial Print Shop

"Quarterly audits require a full inventory of digitized claim files — page count, file size, creation date for every PDF. Tiff Teller generates the CSV report in one click. I import it into our tracking database and the audit spreadsheet populates automatically. No more manual counting."

5 Star Natalia Sergeyeva Compliance Analyst, Insurance Company

"Our pipeline generates invoices as PDFs and the page count must match the line-item count. I set up a scheduled Tiff Teller command-line task that scans the output folder and writes a CSV. Our test script compares the CSV against expected values. Catches mismatches before they reach the client."
