It's pretty simple to loop through the page sizes using JavaScript; here's a chunk of example code you can run from the console. Add more pages sizes as required, remember Acrobat measures everything in Points (72 pt per inch):
...console.println("There are " + this.numPages + " pages in this document");
// counters
var numA3 = 0;
var numA4 = 0;
var numUSL = 0; // etc.
// helper function to compare a number with some wiggle room - we look for portrait and landscape possibilities
function inRange(wid,hei,t

Hi.
I found this code very helpful and would like to develop further, please excuse my clumsy attempt at brute force hacking
I would like to have inline a calculated value based on 0.25 cents per A4 page equivalent. for example A3 would be 2 x .25 or .50 cents per page.
I cant seem to get the code right. the calculated text drops down a line
I modified your code for the different paper we use and increased the wiggle room allowance to see scans better. my scanner output varies to ISO standards

var msgText = "There are " + this.numPages + " pages in this document\n";
// counters
var numA4 = 0;
var numA3 = 0;
var numA2 = 0;
var numA1 = 0;
var numA0 = 0;
var p = .25;
// helper function to compare a number with some wiggle room
function inRange(wid,hei,targetWid,targetHei) {
var wiggle = 28; // amount of error to allow
return (wid>=(targetWid-wiggle) && wid<=(targetWid+wiggle)) && (hei>=(targetHei-wiggle) && hei<=(targetHei+wiggle)) || (hei>=(targetWid-wiggle) && hei<=(targetWid+wiggle)) && (wid>=(targetHei-wiggle) && wid<=(targetHei+wiggle)) }
for (pagenum=0;pagenum<this.numPages;pagenum++) {
var pbox = this.getPageBox("Crop",pagenum);
var width = (pbox[2] - pbox[0]);
var height = (pbox[1] - pbox[3]);
var recognized = false;
if (inRange(width,height,595,842)) { numA4++; recognized = true; }
if (inRange(width,height,842,1191)) { numA3++; recognized = true; }
if (inRange(width,height,1191,1684)) { numA2++; recognized = true; }
if (inRange(width,height,1684,2384)) { numA1++; recognized = true; }
if (inRange(width,height,2384,3370)) { numA0++; recognized = true; }
if (!recognized) msgText += ("Page " + (pagenum+1) + " has a width of " + (width/72).toFixed(2) + " and a height of " + (height/72).toFixed(2) + "inches\n"); }
msgText +=
numA4 + (" A4 pages\n" +(numA4*p))
+ numA3 + (" A3 pages\n" +(numA3*p))
+ numA2 + (" A2 pages\n" +(numA2*p))
+ numA1 + (" A1 pages\n" +(numA1*p))
+ numA0 + (" A0 pages\n" +(numA0*p))
+ (this.numPages++ - (numA4+numA3+numA2+numA1+numA0)) + " other pages";
app.alert(msgText);
Thanks, I doing baby steps here.
The changes now look like this
---
+ (this.numPages++ - (numA4+numA3+numA2+numA1+numA0)) + " other pages" + "\n"
+ " Sum " +(A4+A3+A2+A1+A0);
app.alert(msgText);

This runs but wont add up, however displays: Sum 0
Any thoughts?
