Get number of pages in a pdf using a cmd batch file

Alternatively you can use the command, which returns only the number:

pdfinfo "${PDFFILE}" | grep Pages | sed 's/[^0-9]*//'

You will need the poppler package:

https://poppler.freedesktop.org/

Which can be installed using either homebrew / linuxbrew:

brew install poppler

or with apt:

sudo apt install poppler-utils

Using pdftk:

pdftk my.pdf dump_data | grep NumberOfPages

does the trick.
