Using pdfgrep to search PDF files on Linux
This is a really handy tool to let you search one or a directory full of PDF files.
This is Debian oriented, but a great tool for all Linux versions.
For OpenSUSE users, just add the Publishing repo then add the package.
eg. do the following from a root shell
zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Publishing/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/Publishing.repo
zypper in pdfgrep
You might also want to add pdftk with
zypper in pdftk

I'm on a mac, but I might use this if I didn't have tools for searching PDFs built in. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteBTW, gtop is awesome.
John Lewis Yeah, but you can use this with scripts so there's that.
ReplyDeleteRE: gtop, glad to hear a positive review.
Scripting, yeah. Good point.
