Find text in PDF document?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings to the psyche list,

The kde pdf reader in RH 8.0 is (still) kghostview (version 0.13.1.)
Why doesn't this have a SEARCH or FIND TEXT function?

Download (non-window-manager-specific) ghostview-1.5.8. Still, no "FIND TEXT". ??

The question for the forum is: what is commonly used for PDF?  Is there an
alternative PDF viewer? Is there a simple script that can be used in conjunction
with ghostview to find text?: {
               $ grep "text" some.pdf
               ... doesn't work - for obvious reasons}

Running Lycoris may not be not the geek thing to do, but it has certain
advantages, e.g., the Adobe Acrobat 5 reader with FIND-ability. (The iso
download has it: prob. equiv. to the free version I use on M$ ) :D

Thanks

j.ingersoll
