> In terms of the "number of pages" metadata, luckily this isn't too difficult to add. The pdftohtml program that Greenstone uses creates anchor tags in the HTML output (<a name=1>, <a name=2> etc.) at the start of each page. It is fairly simple to look for these tags and count them to

It works! Thanks.

> If you want to add the file size metadata yourself you'll need to determine the size of the original file, then call add_utf8_metadata as I've done above.

$filestat = stat($filename);
$doc_obj->add_metadata($doc_obj->get_top_section(), "FileSize", $filestat[7]);

I added the code above in sub read, BasPlug.pm, right after:

$doc_obj->add_utf8_metadata($doc_obj->get_top_section(), "Plugin", "$self->{'plugin_type'}");

But it doesn't work. What am I missing? I thought of BasPlug because I would like to have the FileSize element in all files, not just PDFs.

It certainly did help.

I'm beginning to like the structure of the program. Too bad I'm not fluent in perl. But then again, there isn't a lot to change, it just works.
