Not the cleanest method, but you can use: To convert the PDF to a text stream on stdout and then use whatever text manipulation commands you'd like from there. To convert the PDF to a text file, replace - with a filename: --jeremy does pdftotext keeps/inserts tags so to easily find chapters/section/topic entries?

No, pdftotext simply converts a PDF to plain text. If you'd like something more in-depth you may want to setup Lucene, htdig or some other indexing method that supports PDF.

The Lucene engine supports PDF searching. Some FLOSS projects use the Lucene Engine:
It uses the Solr subproject for pdf searching. Propably, this question will help you :) Good luck! |
