In case you use pdf.js you may reference an example on github ('.../examples/node/getinfo.js') with following code that prints number of pages in a pdf file.

const pdfjsLib = require('pdfjs-dist');
...
pdfjsLib.getDocument(pdfPath).then(function (doc) {
    var numPages = doc.numPages;
    console.log('# Document Loaded');
    console.log('Number of Pages: ' + numPages);
}
