About the PDF Page Counter
Counting pages sounds like something you should not need a tool for, and then you have forty files to quote a printing job on, or a submission with a page limit, or a translation to price by the page. Opening each document, waiting for it to load and scrolling to the end is slower than it has any right to be, especially with large scanned files.
The count comes from the document structure rather than by rendering the pages, so it appears immediately even for a file of several hundred megabytes. Nothing has to be displayed for the number to be read.
The usual reasons are commercial: print shops charge per page, translators and transcribers quote per page, and courts and universities impose page limits that are checked before anything else. Knowing the number before you commit is the difference between an accurate quote and an apology later. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded, so you can check a confidential document without it leaving your device.
