It could be 250 pages, if they used normal fonts and spacing. I get the impression that they do not want this stuff to be easily read. Properly made .pdfs usually have a hyperlinked table of contents on the left margin. That would make it just too easy for someone to understand. A good way to read it is put in a keyword and use the search function.

Anyway, once you start reading, it is mostly gibberish. The government would have to employ another million people to adminster this stuff - Obama job creation.
