Calculate media usage

I'm trying to calculate the total media usage for several PDF-files. I'm using the calculation feature to calculate the total area of a single PDF (with multiple pages). I do that this way:

[Switch.Calculation:Expression="([Stats.MediaBoxHeight:Type="Defined"]*0.035278)*([Stats.MediaBoxWidth:Type="Defined"]*0.035278)*[Stats.NumberOfPages]",Precision="2"]

This returns the result in square centimeters. I store the result in Private Data. Is there any way to calculate the sum of this number for all PDF's contained in a folder (apart from merging the files before doing the calculation).

I believe this should be possible via scripting, I don't think it is possible without.

Thanks Padawan. I'll try to post the same question in the scripting section.

Hello Terkelsen,

There is a new Counter app that does the job:
