pdfgrep

> Search text in PDF files.

Find lines that match pattern in a PDF:

pdfgrep {pattern} {file.pdf}

Include file name and page number for each matched line:

pdfgrep --with-filename --page-number {pattern} {file.pdf}

Do a case-insensitive search for lines that begin with "foo" and return the first 3 matches:

pdfgrep --max-count {3} --ignore-case {'^foo'} {file.pdf}

Find pattern in files with a `.pdf` extension in the current directory recursively:

pdfgrep --recursive {pattern}

Find pattern on files that match a specific glob in the current directory recursively:

pdfgrep --recursive --include {'*book.pdf'} {pattern}
