rgpdf

繁體中文 · English

rgpdf is a cross-platform desktop application for searching text-layer PDFs with plain text or regular expressions. Matches appear as they are found and can be opened in an asynchronous page preview with precise, configurable highlighting.

Features

Search multiple PDFs in a folder, optionally including subfolders.
Plain-text and regular-expression modes with optional case sensitivity.
Matches across lines and page boundaries, including line-end dehyphenation.
Incremental per-match results without blocking the interface.
Three coordinated views for files, matching passages, and PDF page preview.
Per-character highlight geometry and configurable highlight colors.
English and Traditional Chinese interfaces, plus system/light/dark themes.
Persistent search and appearance preferences.

rgpdf searches existing PDF text layers. It does not perform OCR or modify source files.
