XpdfAnalyze is a very affordable developer's library/SDK that makes it easy to determine the object types and colors used on one or more pages in a PDF file. Object types are images, text strings, strokes (lines), and fills (filled polygons).
Object-type information can be used to categorize PDF files as image-only, text-only, or image-and-text.
Color information includes color spaces (DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, Separation, etc.), as well as information on which process colors (CMYK) and/or custom colors (spot colors) are used.
XpdfAnalyze is easy to use.
pdf = new XpdfAnalyze.XpdfAnalyze
pdf.loadFile("input.pdf")
pdf.analyzePages(1, 4) ' analyze pages 1-4
n = pdf.getNumImages() ' number of images on pages 1-4
