this would work in the case that we have, where pattern "pdf 200" exists at only one place on a line. I was under impression that the pattern may exist multiple times on the same line.
My solution was aimed at that, which would give the exact count (grep would give incorrect count, since it counts the number of lines on which the pattern is found)

zegrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
