Hi,
Is there a command to get a word count and character count in a latex document (in a pdf file generated out of latex, and not in the latex code itslef)?
Thank you,
Omkar

word/character count
Hi Omkar,
there should be some tools. One example is AbracadabraCompteur 2, that's free javascript plugin for the Adobe Reader. I've tested it earlier, but the result seemed to be too high.
Just type pdf word count as keywords for a search engine, you should get a lot of results.
Perhaps somebody else has a recommendation.
Other ways than to count inside the pdf are copying the text into a word processor software that counts, or to use detex together with the wc tool, just to mention some ideas.
