Desktopfree

hpdft is a command-line tool and Haskell library for working with PDFs. Run without arguments on a file, it opens a lightweight interactive terminal viewer with scrolling and regex search; a text-extraction mode pulls content using the PDF's tagged structure when available, falling back to geometry-based layout reconstruction. It's aimed at developers and technical users who want to view or extract PDF text without leaving the terminal.
