pkpgcounter parses files and outputs the number of
pages needed to print them. It can also, for
certain file formats, compute the percentage of
ink colors covering each page. It currently
recognizes almost 20 Page Description Languages or file formats, including the most used ones like Postscript, PDF, the PCL family, DVI, OpenDocument, or even Microsoft Word, corresponding to hundreds of different printer drivers. This utility and Python library is often used as the PDL parsing engine in print accounting software like PyKota or JASMine, but can of course be used independently.

Changes:
A major bug was fixed in the detection of OpenDocument documents. Support for the Microsoft Word file format has been added in both page counting and ink coverage modes. Support for the OpenDocument file format has been extended to ink coverage mode. These major changes require third party executable tools whose presence is now automatically detected and reported at runtime if needed.
