Using R to transform all pages of a PDF into text, for multiple files

I'm using a looped 'pdf_render_page' function to create a bitmap of PDF documents that are then turned into raw text via the tesseract package. However this function works only given knowledge of file size. Does anyone know a way to take a pdf with an unknown page number total and discover the page count to then run this loop?

when using the pdftools package you can assign the length of pdf 'dummy.pdf' by doing:

pdf_length <- pdf_info("dummy.pdf")$pages
