Detecting different / odd page sizes in Adobe PDF

Question

In the past I have successfully been able to check PDFs to see if all of the page sizes are what I need them to be. However I have set the correct parameters but when I search a test document, it checks it but doesn't return the correct answer. Three pages should produce an error. Any suggestions or corrections are appreciated.

See the picture below that show my selections. thanks in advance for your assistance.

Architecture: x86_64

Processor: Intel

Build: 24.2.20687.0

AGM: 7.1.4

CoolType: 9.1.0

JP2K: 4.0.2.54248

Thank you. I went just back into the document and eliminated the rounding issue. For example, If a page size was 11.379823766134 I changed it to 11.38. I corrected all of the pages in question, ran it through pre flight and still no pages were flagged. I have attached the updated pdf.

In the picture I provided, do you see any place, where my parameters are incorrect?

Thanks for your assistance.

This is not something you can fix so easily. It comes from the issues JS has with floating points, especially when dividing numbers (as it needs to do when converting PostScript points to inches).

Here are the results I get for the second file you sent:

1: 8.5 x 11
2: 8.5 x 14
3: 8.5 x 11
4: 8.5 x 11
5: 8.370000203450521 x 11.68999989827474
6: 11.47999996609158 x 8.879999796549479
7: 8.66000027126736 x 15
8: 8.91999986436632 x 11.470000372992622

The real solution would be to define a range, instead of checking if the page size is exactly 8.5 x 11 you should check if it's between 8.49 and 8.51 and 10.99 and 11.01, for example.
