Automatic Page Counter

Post by ras1 »

Having seen some entries with "?" listed as the number of pages, it made me wonder how easy it would be to automatically count the pages of new submissions.

That's a good idea.

However, even if that kind of counter could be incorporated into the system, there still needs to be manual input by the uploader or a later hand that shows which pages in the total range are included in a file, and whether 2 pages from the original are included on one PDF page. E.g.:
  • 30 (facing pp. #10-69) pages

Of course, we could also make that a required field in the submission process.
