Extract page size from a single page pdf

Extract page size from a single-page pdf

Hi all,

I'm using PHP (on Windows) to extract data from a bunch of single-page
PDFs. They are created as such and never subsequently edited (so they
were never, for instance, multipage PDFs from which pages were then
deleted).

What's the simplest way of extracting the page size from these files?
(I'm not particularly fussed about page orientation.)

At present, I'm using a combination of XPDF and pdftk to extract other
information from these files.

In the end, I've gone for a solution that simply embeds the page size
as text within the file at creation time. It's not ideal, but it'll
work well enough.
