Allow Identify PDF to skip reading the PDF depending on ctl settings

For the most part our Identify Control files are simply based on number of pages, we don't scrape any data from the PDF. I would think the Identify step should be able to create the necessary dpf/jdf files without even reading the PDF which in some cases could save a lot of time in the workflow on large PDFs, for instance we have a 350000 page PDF that was going to take 10+ hours to "Identify". This is using the newer PDF processing library. On the same note, you could theoretically even just have a job property that it uses instead of a control file all together. Job.PagesPerDocument or something, then just create the dpf using math.
