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
.pdfextension 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}}
