    set PDFwords to 0
    set numberOfMyPages to count pages of document 1
   
    repeat with currentPage from 1 to numberOfMyPages
        set numberOfPageWords to count words of page currentPage of document 1
        set PDFwords to PDFwords + numberOfPageWords
    end repeat
   
    display dialog "Number of words: " & PDFwords buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
end tell
