Overview

What is Babel ?

Babel was an attempt to develop a PDF document manager.

Actually it features:

• a PDF browser that permit to navigate in the file system, display PDF documents and sort (move) them in a similar way than the Geeqie image viewer.

• a GUI showing the PDF document metadatas, pages and corresponding text blocks.

• tools to generate thumbnails, extract text from pages

• a MuPDF binding using CFFI ( it need a dynamic library and API update )

• a BibTeX parser

• Lexique tool using British National Corpus

• some experimental codes to extract metadata, text, and index them.
