Description

Searches for text inside PDF files from the command line, similar to using grep with plain text files. It is useful for finding terms across manuals, reports, papers, invoices, or large document folders.

It can inspect many files when used recursively, so search paths should be chosen carefully. Private documents may appear in the results if the command is run over broad directories.
