I need to determine the number of pages in a specified PDF file using C# code (.NET 2.0). The PDF file will be read from the file system, and not from an URL. Does anyone have any idea on how this could be done? Note: Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on the PC where this check will be carried out.

Best Answer
You'll need a PDF API for C#. iTextSharp is one possible API, though better ones might exist.
iTextSharp Example
You must install iTextSharp.dll as a reference. Download iTextsharp from SourceForge.net This is a complete working program using a console application.
