It really depends on the number of pages in the document, the level of accessibility desired (e.g. Section 508, WCAG, PDF/UA, etc.), the person doing the work, the tools you have available, the native document format, etc.

Form based documents, documents with multiple columns, or documents with math, footnotes, superscripts, etc. can vary widely. Perhaps a better way of looking at it is the types of elements each document contains along with the number of pages.
