Send you file to the above mentioned address (no message necessary).
You get it back as a text file and you can count the words.

| from within Adobe Acrobat | Apr 12, 2002 |
If you are a holder of Version 5.0 of Adobe Acrobat you can store the pdf-file as rtf-file, from where a text-count is easily possible. Should the pdf-file be read/write-protected ask the author/provider to send you an open file or the password.
This usually works fine.
Kind Regards

Not all PDFs will allow you to select and copy the text -- I think it depends on the originating application. However, it seems to work with most of those that I receive.
