index-pdf

A short python script to quickly index a HUGE pdf file based on regex

Requires PyPDF2 and tkinter

pip3 install PyPDF2

apt install tk

Usuage:

1. Put search.py in folder containing all PDF's and run it
2. Enter search query
3. Select pdf files, you can select multiple pdf's
4. Click on search
5. The initial building of index will be slow, after the document is indexed, search is fast

Note: The program might not respond for a few minutes, do not PANIC

• If documents have been modified, you will need to delete <document_name>.pdf.index files
• Change the regex pattern according to your needs, By default search is for sentence_case (First Letter Is Capital)
• I do not intend on maintaining this project as it is just a quick script I wrote to solve a common annoyance. However, feel free to provide feedback/feature requests
