pdfgrepgui

We have hosted the application pdfgrepgui in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about pdfgrepgui:

The GUI uses the command line tool pdfgrep. It can only uses the options -i (ignore case) and -P (PCRE), -n (Print page number with output lines) and -H (Print the file name for each match) from the command line tool. The -r option will be done by the program itself.

Performance:
This GUI works well when searching in several hundert pdf Documents (depends on the speed of your computer and the length of the pdf documents).
The GUI needs about 10% longer than the command line tool. If you need more performance you can have a look on Searchmonkey or ripgrep.
