Command line search tool for PDF files

Takes one or more command line parameters as search terms and greps the text contents of every pdf file in the current directory. Default behaviour prints every occurrence of any of the terms. Using the option -a as the last parameter switches to AND mode, in which only occurrences of all terms within a single line are matched.

Fun Fact: it is actually possible to store the output of a grep --color=always ... into a variable and echo the colored output
