pdfgrep 2.2.0

pdfgrep is a commandline tool to search through PDF files. It's similar in its application to grep, and also allows searching with regular expressions or case-insensitively, and recursively through directories. It prints out filenames, page numbers, number of occurences, and most importantly a colorized match list.
