[opensuse] Search multiple directories inside PDF files
Hi all, We have multiple directories with sub directories containing hundreds of PDF files. We need to search inside all the PDF files for any word (with boolean AND / OR) words, where the results list the files and allow direct opening on the position where the word is in the pdf-file. Which Linux open source application can be recommended for that. Is there also an open source application that perhaps runs on both Linux and a Windoze box as well?

Hi Dunno about doze, but I think Beagle is designed to do such work. I do not use "the dreaded dog" myself however so I cannot be sure. On Suse 11 beagle seems to work better than it ever did. I am far from sure, but the indexing service in dozeXP might help you there. I have no knowledge of any tools that do this AND are cross-platform. I am the only one accessing and saving my files, so on neither of the OS-ses I have needed a content accessing search tool. Neil -- There are two kinds of people: 1.
