  • Issue with DOCX Page Count Plugin - Incorrect Results

    Hi Team,

    We're encountering a critical issue with the DOCX page count plugin we're currently using. This is impacting our document processing and causing problems with element positioning.

    • Problem: The plugin is incorrectly reporting a page count of "1" for some DOCX documents when they actually contain a significantly higher number of pages (e.g., 22 or 25).

    • Impact: This incorrect page count directly affects our element positioning logic, leading to misaligned elements within the documents. Our use case relies on accurate page counts to properly position elements.

    • Investigation:

      • We have thoroughly examined the affected documents and found no issues that would explain the incorrect page count.
      • The page count reported within the document's properties/info section is correct (e.g., 25 pages). This suggests the problem lies within the plugin itself.

    • Urgency: This issue is blocking our workflow as correct element positioning is essential. We need a resolution as soon as possible.

    • Request: Please investigate this issue and provide a fix or workaround. We need the plugin to accurately report the page count for all DOCX documents.



    Thanks &Regards
