Extracting Page Counts

You can extract estimated page counts without having to print to paper or convert native files to TIFF or PDF. To generate estimated page counts for most common native file formats that have been imported into a case, use the Electronic Discovery Loader (ED Loader) or Turbo Import. Note the following when extracting page counts:

Page counts are estimated because some source applications are unable to provide an exact page count without actually sending the document to a printer. The page counts returned using this process should only be considered an estimated page count.

To obtain a more accurate page count, convert the native files to TIFF or PDF, or print the files.

ED Loader and Turbo Import extracts page estimated counts by opening files in the native application listed in the SourceApp field and retrieving the page count value.

 

Note

Not all applications support page count extraction. For example, you cannot extract page counts from Microsoft Outlook items. If a page count cannot be extracted, a warning message will be returned to the error log.
