And what if your document also has the text "Page:" in it somewhere?
Please, use

	grep '^%%Page:' | wc

Even that won't work if you're working with nested documents which
may have embedded (but igonred) %%Page directives too.

I've seen supposedly DSC compliant code emitting %%Page, but not %%Pages:.
Somestimes a "%%Pages: (atend)", but forgot to do the real one at the end...

It's simple enough to try both and see what comes out.

Not very reliable tho.

Consult the FAQ.
