Querying PDF's using command line?

Question

Recently I came across command line to find damaged JPEG here at http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2352/find-corrupted-jpeg-image-files.

If there are some commands related to PDF I will be happy? often I play with PDF for many reasons.

Finding number of words? Finding Number of Lines? Finding Number of Pages?

Is is possible?
