Ok, word counting is not easy (eg. headers and footers), but is perhaps not impossibly hard either.

Does our trusty Acrobat still not count words in a PDF now it is 20 years old?

What is our best option for a clearly defined and accurate count of the words in a PDF in the Adobe Creative Cloud: select all text in Acrobat Pro and paste it into InCopy?

Thanks for the widom.

Acrobat is not a word processor and PDF was not invented to be edited. Use MS Word or similar apps for counting words.

You may want information about the document without wanting to edit it, such as "is this too large to put in my LLM's context window?" Pasting large PDF text into Word crashes Word.
