Oh, btw, I use PHP ftp function to upload the file, but there is no
information in $_FILES to tell me the total page for Word or PDF file.
Really appreciated your time and help!
Thank you very much! Jian

There's no function in the PDF library to READ the file.
And about Word documents (.doc): Word calculates the amount of pages at
'parsetime'. Word documents are just RTF files, and they
don't describe the amount of pages in the files.
So it's really tricky to make a script that counts the pages in Word
documents, as you would have to make an RTF parser. :/
