I don't know of a Object Pascal library you can you, but there is an
alternative. The PDF fromat is a mixture of text and binary. You can
search for text as follows:

/Type /Pages
/Count 45

After the "/Type /Pages" there should be a "/Count <n>" line which
contains the page count. Hope that helps.
