I know some way to getting world count for a single PDF Files, but I have a folder which contains 500+ PDF files so I would like to know if there is a faster way to get the word count for all of them without opening every single file and do the copy past stuff like that.

You could add
alias wcp='pbpaste | wc' to you're bash profile (.bash_profile)
Then copy some text and type wcp in the terminal

Yeah exactly. Why make it difficult when it's so easy. But good on you, robg! That's a nice script too.

Nice!
I've always wanted a word counter specifically for TextEdit, so I added the following and saved it as a script (the first bit tells the system to copy the selected text so I don't have to strain my poor, overused Cmd+C fingers). Then, I used FastScripts to make a keyboard shortcut for it.
tell application 'System Events'
tell process 'TextEdit'
set frontmost to true --> bring app to the foreground
click menu item 5 of menu 1 of menu bar item 4 of menu bar 1 --> copy
end tell
end tell
set myCount to count (the clipboard)
set myWords to count words of (the clipboard)
set myParas to count paragraphs of (the clipboard)
display dialog 'Characters: ' & myCount & '
Words: ' & myWords & '
Paragraphs: ' & myParas

Lots simpler:
tell application 'TextEdit'
set ch to count characters of document 1
set wd to count words of text of document 1
set par to count paragraphs of text of document 1
display dialog 'Characters: ' & ch & return & 'Words: ' & wd & return & 'Paragraphs: ' & par buttons 'OK'
end tell
This will do statistics for the first document window opened in TextEdit, with no need of using clipboard.
Or you can use the 'Statistics...' service in Services menu; curiously enough, count by applescript and count by Statistics don't match.

And replacing 'document 1' with 'front document', you'll get the statistics for the document you're currently working on:
tell application 'TextEdit'
set ch to count characters of front document
set wd to count words of text of front document
set par to count paragraphs of text of front document
display dialog 'Characters: ' & ch & return & 'Words: ' & wd & return & 'Paragraphs: ' & par buttons 'OK'
end tell

Sorry to keep posting replies to myself, but I just noted you can slightly simplify the script removing the words 'of text' from the script, as they are superfluous.

I am a TOTAL applescript n00b. I just started a few days ago. I made this one:
set Entry to display dialog 'Enter Text' default answer '
set textEntry to text returned of Entry
set myCount to count (textEntry)
set myWords to count words of (textEntry)
set myParas to count paragraphs of (textEntry)
display dialog
'Characters: ' & myCount & '
Words: ' & myWords & '
Paragraphs: ' & myParas
It sorta seems pointless cause you would copy and paste it anyway, but what the heck. Don't flame saying this isn't useful cause its not. I just figured I would make it. Enter any text and it counts it words, characters, paragraphs.

A version that counts what in a file:
set f to (choose file with prompt 'Choose a text file' without invisibles)
tell application 'Finder' to open f -- brings it to front if open
delay 0.5 -- may have to be lengthened if doc is not open.
tell application 'System Events' to tell window 1 to keystroke 'ac' using command down -- command a is 'all', command c is 'copy'.
tell (the clipboard) to set {char, wds, para} to {count characters, count words, count paragraphs}

Or you could choose Services>Statistics…, and call it a day....

Sounds great, except that the mentioned service does not appear in my menu. There is a 'summarize' one, but it is dimmed in TextEdit, BBEdit, and Word. Don't know, but the AppleScript and the command line methods seem pretty useful, each in it's own right, to me.

That service looks like it'll be useful for word and character counts. Thanks! I haven't logged out/in to try it yet.
I'm checking out the ReadMe.rft file that comes with it, and I notice that it has one feature that could trip you up, if you're writing in English using the official MLA style [used by literature and language teachers and writers. It's probably not important unless you need to strictly follow MLA rules, but if the rules are important, don't use that 'Initial Caps Of Sentences' feature. APA and Chicago Style rules are different.
In MLA style, we are not supposed to capitalize after colons [:] unless the text that follows could be a sentence on its own [not a sentence fragment].
We don't capitalize after semi-colons [;] because it's understood already that the semi-colon connects 2 independent sentences. It's weird, I know, but this is the kind of stuff that gets penalized in scholarly writing, and in publications, especially if you're student working for course credit.
We also do not capitalize after a 3-dot ellipsis [... ], when we're quoting part of someone else's text, because that's used to show something was taken out of the same sentence, on both sides of the little dots... the text that follows the 3-dot ellipsis is still part of the same sentence. Thus, you don't capitalize; that would make it seem like there was more than one sentence being quoted.
When you're quoting more than one sentence, and you're cutting out stuff by using the ellipsis 'between sentences', you use a 4-dot ellipsis [.... ]. That shows everyone that the quoted bit came from a sentence, but we aren't seeing the end of that quoted sentence. The difference between 3-dot and 4-dot ellipses are important in journalism, because when you quote someone and do the ellipses wrong, you're misquoting them.
Always use a space after an ellipsis.
