Is there a way to obtain the extents of a pbf file (top, bottom, left, right) using osmosis or similar tool?

The osmconvert --out-statistics option returns lat/lon min/max values:

osmconvert liechtenstein.osm.pbf --out-statistics

osmconvert binaries are also available for Windows.

Excellent, I knew there had to be a way through the regular tools!

This can be done with the osmium command line tool from https://github.com/osmcode/osmium-tool (also present in recent Linux distributions):

% osmium fileinfo -eg data.bbox myfile.osm.pbf
