Adobe PDF layout properties

[pcf108]

Is there any way to retreive a PDF documents properties such as Page size, and page count? I have found several libraries that generate PDF documents, but I merely want to read some of the properties that are usually displayed in reader. The adobe PDFLib does not appear to have anyway of doing this. I am considering getting the adobe SDK (cost $200), but Im not sure that its not overkill or that it will work well with .NET

Anyone have any advice/knowledge to share here?

i luv notepad

Well, in case anyone is interested. I seemed to remember something about PDFs being readable in notepad. So I popped one open, and sure enough... Then downloaded the Adobe PDF reference manual. And found that there are textual tags such as "/Page " indicating a new page item and also tags for crop size and media size.

So Im parsing the pdfs for the heck of it... I think itll work out but it seems so simple that im skeptical.
