>                 Key: TIKA-2458
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2458
>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: core
>            Reporter: Tim Allison
>            Priority: Minor
>
> On TIKA-2451, we're adding a metadata value for the number of images in a tiff.  This raises the broader (admittedly minor) question of how we want to handle "number of pages".
> I'm opening this issue for discussion and feedback.
> Unfortunately Dublin Core doesn't have a {{number of pages}} element as far as a I can tell.
> Do we want to have a single key in {{TikaCoreProperties}} that is "number of pages" that would be used for: 
> # number of pages in a PDF
> # number of pages that a .docx alleges it has
> # the number of slides in a PPT
> # the number of sheets in an XLS
> # the number of tiffs in a multi-image tiff
> Others?
> Or, do we want to have different keys {{MSOffice.PageCount}}, {{PagedText.N_PAGES}}, {{TIFF.NUM_TIFFS}}
> Or, thanks to the beauty of composite keys, do we want to have both a unified key and the above individual keys?
> *I would propose using PagedText's {{N_PAGES}} as the unifying key, but the definition of that seems to be strictly within XMP-land _and_ it should be a sum of the pages in the container document and all embedded documents according to our javadocs.
