I am running DOpus 13.10 x64 along with PDF-XChange Editor Plus 10.2.1.
Within Windows Explorer, when I add the Pages column to my view, I see page totals for PDF files, as expected (this functionality via PDF-XChange):
But when I add the Pages column to my view within DOpus, there are no values in that column:
Here are a couple of related configuration screenshots:
Thoughts? Thanks!

Check if it's in Preferences / Miscellaneous / Shell Extensions / Blocked .
Crazy-fast response, Leo - thanks.
Indeed it was (unexpectedly) Blocked...
...but even when I Allow it (followed by a quit/restart of DOpus just in case)...
...I have the same issue.

It's probably a different column that needs to be turned on in Preferences / File Display Columns / Shell Properties .

Great guidance, you got me pointed in the right direction.
I didn't realize there could be more than one "Pages" column display option.
I had initially selected Columns > Documents > Pages (the empty left "Pages" column here).
But I should have selected Columns > Shell > Pages (the populated right "Pages" column here).
All good now - thanks!

Glad it's working! Thanks @lxp as I didn't think of doing it that way.
@bssmith : It might be worth re-blocking the shell extension and checking if things still work without it. If they don't, un-block it again, of course!
(It's blocked by default as it probably isn't needed anymore and sometimes causes a delay when opening folders. Bit more detail just before the 2nd heading (at time of writing) in Shell extensions which are blocked by default )

Maybe a feature limited to the Plus version?

@Leo I can report that I still see the PDF page counts as expected, even when the shell extension is blocked. I'll leave it in that blocked state.
Thanks again for your assistance!
