I just use my browser for pdfs lol
foxit pdf reader
Proprietary 💩
Bloat :P
What lol, are you trying to say a modern browser that can read pdfs is bloat? Lol
Just joking.
I was expecting a terminal command to parse your pdfs lol
To be honest I do not like PDF readers being bundled in browser's binaries, I see web rendering engines themselfs as a pile of legacy impossible to rewrite spaghetti.
Qutebrowser for example has PDF.js as an optional, installable dependency. I guess Firefox can be recompiled without PDF support, if someone wants to save those... 3MB. But just that my Linux mind has slight aversion to bundling stuff in single binary, because on Linux installing 1 or 100 programs if they are packaged takes the same time.
Ah. And some commands for PDFs are really useful :P.
For example I used
convert file.jpg file.pdf
to upload couple of documents I had scanned as pictures but website required a PDF extension.Nice.
The question I have is does tesseract do better OCR on pdfs than chat GPT lol
Also obligatory fuck Adobe.
I would like to recommend sumatrapdf
Why? What does it do over a built in browser pdf reader
