Hi, I hope this is still of some use. Actually I have a look, because of issue #472.

You can use MediaBox info for this. If you look The PDF Specification, on page 77 the MediaBox is defined as:

MediaBox: (Required;** inheritable) A rectangle (see 7.9.5 "Rectangles"), expressed in default user space units, that shall define the boundaries of the physical medium on which the page shall be displayed or printed (see 14.11.2, "Page Boundaries").

There is a lot of info in the specification and I am not an expert on this.

For getting that info:

$parser = new Paser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('file.pdf');
$pages = $pdf->getPages();
$page = $pages[0];
$details = $page->getDetails();
$mediaBox = $details['MediaBox'];

Media box should be something like:

Array
(
    [0] => 0      
    [1] => 0      
    [2] => 595.2  
    [3] => 841.919
)

Hope this can help!

Hi! Im trying to get pdf page height and width using the code in your example, but I only get the following properties:
array(4) { ["Type"]=> string(4) "Page" ["Parent"]=> array(2) { ["Type"]=> string(5) "Pages" ["Count"]=> string(1) "1" } ["Resources"]=> array(0) { } ["Contents"]=> array(2) { ["Filter"]=> string(11) "FlateDecode" ["Length"]=> string(4) "1829" } }

But, if I print the whole pdf object, I can search "MediaBox" and I see two values that appear to be Height and Width. I copied the result in a pastebin for the sake of the readers :)

Any advice on how to get this working? Thanks a lot in advance!

Same question. Any idea how to get width and height from fpdf generated file?
Code above doesn`t work for me either.

The same of previous suggestion but with more details:

$pages = $pdf->getPages();
$mediaBox = [];
foreach ($pages as $page) {
	$details = $page->getDetails();
	$mediaBox[] = [
		'width' => $details['MediaBox'][2],
		'height' => $details['MediaBox'][3]
	];
}

Output:

Array(
	[0] => Array
	(
		[width] => 595.28
		[height] => 841.89
	)
	[1] => Array
	(
		[width] => 360
		[height] => 360
	)
	[2] => Array
	(
		[width] => 841.89
		[height] => 595.28
	)
)

Only to register here the information, I identified an edge case parsing a PDF generated with FPDF. The MediaBox don't exists at page scope and was necessary to get from document scope:

I added this information here in the documentation here: #700
