There are two workarounds. 1. Convert the first page of the PDF to Raster and then do an imageInfo on the raster copy of the PDF. Parse the imageInfo--possibly outside of AGS although the adobe-content syntax can be useful in some situations. For an example of using the adobe-content sytnax, see the KB at: <http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52547.htm> 2. Open the PDF as text and GREP for MediaBox. It is of the format: MediaBox[0.0 0.0 612 792] If a CropBox is present you may need to take it into account. Note: each page in a PDF can have a different page size and orientation--but many/most PDFs have the same values for all pages.
