Every week, I'll be receiving a set of pdf files from my clients.
They will paste the pdf files in the specific google drive folder. I need a total number of pages of the pdf file. I was trying to create a code in Apps script which will helps to update the pdf file name and the total number of pages in the particular Google sheet.
I found the code which was created for the google docs here and here.
But that doesn't work. I am looking for a Apps script which helps to check the particular drive folder and update the pdf file name and the total number of pages in the specific google sheet.
I have tried to below script.
function getNumberofPages() {
var myFolder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName("Test").next();
var files = myFolder.searchFiles('title contains ".PDF"');
while (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
Logger.log(file.getName());
Logger.log(file.length);
}
}
But the length option is not working of pdf file....
function menuItem() {
var folder =
DriveApp.getFoldersByName('Test').next();
var contents = folder.searchFiles('title contains ".PDF"');
var file;
var name;
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var count;
sheet.clear();
sheet.appendRow(["Name", "Number of pages"]);
while(contents.hasNext()) {
file = contents.next();
name = file.getName();
count =
file.getBlob().getDataAsString().split("/Contents").length - 1;
data = [name, count]
sheet.appendRow(data);
}
};
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu('PDF Page Calculator')
.addItem("PDF Page Calculator",
'menuItem')
.addToUi();
};
