How to count words in Acrobat

One can use Acrobat JavaScript. Once you have opened the JavaScript debugging console, enter the following script:

var cnt=0;
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
cnt += getPageNumWords(p);
console.println(“There are ” + cnt + ” words in this doc.”);

Highlight the entire script, hold down the “Ctrl” key and press the keypad’s enter key and wait.
