I think awk can do this. Set the record separator as form-feed, and set the field separator as newline, so every 'line' is an entire page, and every 'field' is an entire line.
NF thus becomes the count of lines. And you can just set NF, then print. It will happily fill linefeeds between blank fields.
Requires nawk or gawk unless you're on Linux.
If your document uses carriage returns, change FS, OFS, and ORS so \n is \r\n.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
