regex - Is there any pdf reader that supports word searching with regular expression?

Is there software to allow me to search a PDF file with Regex?



I sometimes would like to search some particular words in a PDF file, however there are always a lot of unwanted words for me. For instance, when I would like to find "scala" in a PDF paper, I always come across "scalable", "scalability" or something like that. So I'm wondering whether there exists some reader that supports searching words with regular expressions.



Answer



Windows


With regex search:



Without regex search:



Other:



  • grepWin, it supports regex, but doesn't support PDF files yet.


Linux


Without regex search:



  • pdfgrep (no GUI, available via apt-get) (Free and Open Source)
