I quickly convert the document to word using a pdf converter. Otherwise the old fashioned way is to count how many words there are in an average line and then count the average lines per page.
I personally don't think it is very helpful to say this topic has been discussed hundreds of times as it is not really that easy to look through past topics.

Hi,
If the PDF contains text, then try AnyCount at http://www.anycount.com . They have a trial version.
and if the text in the PDF is in image format, then Abby Finereader will help to convert the text images to word. however, they don't have a trial version that's fully functional.
good luck

Thanks a lot. I'll try to do that.

Thanks, I will try this possibility, too. You are right, I have tried to find it in the past topics, but it seemed for me to be quite difficult, especially when I was in a hurry.

Lesley, this is total nonsense, and you know it!
Nothing could be easier.
If you scroll up a few centimeters, at the top of this very page, you'll find a button called "Search forums".
I simply type in "count words PDF", and Proz comes up with a 149 hits, all very relevant and informative!
And you call this "not really that easy"???

I have tried the recommended programme and it works!!! Thank you really very much. But it was really quite difficult for me to find something without an advice.
