I have a number of annotation attachments in a pdf form. I would like to get the page count of each annotation attachment(mostly pdf). Is there any way to get it.

What exactly do you mean by the "page count of each annotation"?

Do you mean you have Annotations of the Attachement Type?

So do you mean you want to get the number of Attachment Annotations on each page?

What i am looking to get is the total number of pages of each of the annotations(pdf files) of the type " annotation attachment" which are attached to a pdf file. Is there any way to get it. Getting the annotation count of each page to which the annotation is attached is not useful for me.

My misunderstanding. You want the page count of the PDF attachment. Unfortunately the JavaScript model does not provide the same access for an attachment annotation as it does an actual file attachment. The frustrating bit is that from a UI perspective they look the same, but in JavaScript they are different things. These files cannot be opened from JavaScript.
