I use hundreds of pages of pdf technical documents, from which I would often like to see every line with a particular word. For example, something like
pdfgrep K455 prism_census_codebook.pdf would return every use of the code "K455".
Since there is no pdfgrep program, I laboriously use the acroread GUI to find K455 in my pdf document.

Do you know of a "grep" for pdf files?
