Hi @Prajusha 

The only option I could think of is Document Intelligence if you don't want to consume any third-party APIs. https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-intelligent-experiences/page/administer/document-int...

Thanks & Regards

Please use the following Script:

var desc;

 var att = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment'); 

 att.get("373535a1878eee10778e43b90cbb3593"); //Replace this with sys_id of your attached document,

 att.query();

 if (att.next()) {

     var sa = new GlideSysAttachment();

     var binData = sa.getBytes(att);

     var v = new sn_pdfgeneratorutils.PDFGenerationAPI;

     var result = v.getPdfPageSizes(att.sys_id);

     var page_count = 0;

     for (k in result.pages_size) {

         if (result.pages_size.hasOwnProperty(k)) ++page_count;

     }

     gs.info(page_count);

 }

@Prajusha 

try the script shared by @gauravmudgal and see if that works

If not then you cannot use any OOTB method or class for this.
