Count PDF Artifacts in Java

Count pagination artifacts on a page

Use this example when you need a quick count of the main pagination artifact subtypes on a page.

1. Open the source PDF Document.
2. Read the Artifact collection from the target Page.
3. Iterate through the page Artifact collection and count each pagination subtype you need to report.

public static void countPdfArtifacts(Path inputFile) {
    try (Document document = new Document(inputFile.toString())) {
        int watermarks = 0;
        int backgrounds = 0;
        int headers = 0;
        int footers = 0;

        for (Artifact artifact : document.getPages().get_Item(1).getArtifacts()) {
            if (artifact.getType() == Artifact.ArtifactType.Pagination) {
                if (artifact.getSubtype() == Artifact.ArtifactSubtype.Watermark) {
                    watermarks++;
                }
                if (artifact.getSubtype() == Artifact.ArtifactSubtype.Background) {
                    backgrounds++;
                }
                if (artifact.getSubtype() == Artifact.ArtifactSubtype.Header) {
                    headers++;
                }
                if (artifact.getSubtype() == Artifact.ArtifactSubtype.Footer) {
                    footers++;
                }
            }
        }

        System.out.println("Watermarks: " + watermarks);
        System.out.println("Backgrounds: " + backgrounds);
        System.out.println("Headers: " + headers);
        System.out.println("Footers: " + footers);
    }
}
