Is there a way to count doc, docx, pdf pages with only js (without Node.js)?

Question

I need to count number of pages in doc, docx and pdf files.
I know that it is possible to do with PHP, NodeJS

But is it possible to do it with only javascript if file is on server?

It isn't possible for code on one computer to process data on another computer without first copying that data into local memory… but that shouldn't be a hardship in the context of the WWW. — Quentin, Jan 13 '16 at 09:28

https://www.npmjs.com/package/docx-pdf-pagecount can be used to get docx and pdf page count.

const getPageCount = require('docx-pdf-pagecount');

getPageCount('E:/sample/document/aa/test.docx')
  .then(pages => {
    console.log(pages);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });


getPageCount('E:/sample/document/vb.pdf')
  .then(pages => {
    console.log(pages);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

Looks better now, thanks. (Not my downvote btw, I lack domain knowledge to vote on this.) – Baum mit Augen Aug 27 '17 at 13:58
is this pure js as requested ? or does this involve Node.js ? – Gilles Gouaillardet Aug 27 '17 at 14:09

**To find out page number of PDF files**

<script src="js/pdf.js?1444224269"></script>
PDFJS.workerSrc    =   "js/pdf.worker.js";
var fileLocation   =   'test.pdf';
var numPages    =   0;
PDFJS.getDocument(fileLocation).then(function(pdf) {
numPages   =   pdf.numPages;
});

First you need to download zip file from here

after that

Include the PDFPageCount.js library into your target page
Call the function in the format

PDFPageCount.getPageCount(target PDF file,callback function);

EXAMPLE

**PDFPageCount.getPageCount("HTML5_draft.pdf", callbackFunc); **

Once the page count is detected the callback function will get the page count as a return parameter
