How to search contents of multiple pdf files?

Question

How could I search the contents of PDF files in a directory/subdirectory? I am looking for some command line tools. It seems that grep can\'t search PDF files.<

Answer 1

I had the same problem and thus I wrote a script which searches all pdf files in the specified folder for a string and prints the PDF files wich matched the query string.
