Overview
PDF Summary Report generates an HTML report summarising key statistics about the active PDF document. The report includes the total page count, a timestamp, and a breakdown of annotation types found in the file (links, text notes, highlights, and stamps).
The report is saved to an HTML file of your choosing and can be viewed in any web browser. No changes are made to the PDF itself.
How to use
- Open the PDF you want to analyse.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Utilities > PDF Summary Report (or press Ctrl+Shift+S).
- In the Save dialog, choose a location and file name for the HTML report (default name:
FileReport.html). - Click Save to generate and write the report.
Report contents
The generated HTML report contains a single summary table with the following rows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Pages | Total number of pages in the document. |
| Total annotations | Combined count of all annotation objects across every page. |
| Link annotations | Number of link annotations (GoTo, URI, Launch, etc.). |
| Text annotations | Number of sticky-note (Text) annotations. |
| Highlight annotations | Number of highlight markup annotations. |
| Stamp annotations | Number of stamp annotations. |
A generation timestamp is printed at the top of the report so you can track when it was created.
Tip
Use the PDF Summary Report as a quick pre-flight check before running cleanup or link-repair operations. It gives you an at-a-glance count of annotations that may need attention.
Note
This command is read-only — it never modifies the PDF. Large documents with many annotations may take a moment to scan.
