I tried adding this to count the number of 'Type/Page' appearing in the document, and that worked until I tried with you document :

PHP Code:

    if ($max===0){

            if ($fp = @fopen($file,"r")) {   

            while(!feof($fp)) {

                $line = fgets($fp,255);

                if (preg_match('/\/Type\/Page/', $line)) $max++;

            }    

            fclose($fp);

        }

    }

    return $max; 

That returned 28 pages instead of 16. So I just had a look at Count The Number of Pages in a PDF - PHP - Snipplr (thanks wirehopper ) and the first message gave me the solution (using Ubuntu Karmic) :

PHP Code:

exec('pdfinfo '.$file.' | awk \'/Pages/ {print $2}\''); 

It worked perfectly on your document. I will keep this one. Simple, fast and efficient.
