How can I view and sort after the page count for multiple PDF files in a Windows file explorer?
- by grunwald2.0
I unsuccessfully used the "pages" feature in Windows Explorer, as well as in Directory Opus 10 and Free Commander XT (which I installed just for that reason, to try it out) to display the page count of multiple PDFs in a folder.
All my PDF's are free to edit, i.e. not write-protected. I don't understand why any PDF reader can display the (correct) page number, but none of the file explorers can? (In the "details" view of course.)
The only documents whose page count is displayed are MS Word documents.
Do I have to use Adobe Bridge? (I didn't try it.)
On a side-note: Did that change in Windows 8?
Initial research: Google search was unsuccessful, the only slightly related SE topic I found was "How to count pages in multiple PDF files?".
