Whichever PDF file I use, getNumberOfPages returns 0.
It does not throw a IOException or FileNotFoundException or any other
Exception.
Exactly the same thing happens if I use a URL object or File object.
Any suggestions? I've hit a brick wall googling and trying to figure it why
it isn'

You are hiding (@SuppressWarnings...) the warning which leads to the solution.
The load method is static and will create the needed instance of PDDocument.
Try something like this:

        PDDocument paper = PDDocument.load(pdf);
