A new release of Aspose.PDF for Java 10.1.0 is published and it provides some exciting features which are already supported in its sibling (Aspose.PDF for .NET). Among these new features, the bugs reported in the previous releases are also resolved.
Get page count without saving PDF
Unless the PDF file is saved and all the elements are actually placed inside the PDF document, we cannot get the page count for a particular document (because we cannot be certain about the number of pages in which all the elements will be accommodated). However starting with release Aspose.Pdf for Java 10.1.0, we have introduced a method named processParagraphs(…) which provides the feature to get page count for PDF document, without saving the file. So we can get page count information on the fly. Please try using the following code snippet to accomplish this requirement. For more information, please visit Get PDF Page count.
// instantiate Document instance
com.aspose.pdf.Document doc = new com.aspose.pdf.Document();
// add page to pages collection of PDF file
com.aspose.pdf.Page page = doc.getPages().add();
// create a loop to add 300 TextFragment instances
for (int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
// add TextFragment to paragraphs collection of first page of PDF
page.getParagraphs().add(new TextFragment("Pages count test"));
// process paragraphs to get page count information
doc.processParagraphs();
System.out.println("Number of Pages in PDF = "+ doc.getPages().size());
Public API Changes in Aspose.PDF for Java 10.1.0
