I have a lot of pdfs on my pc, and my pdf search tools are lacking. What I want is a way to look for pdfs that for example contain "greasy lightning" and "rain forest" but not necessarily in the same sentence. If said tool could also exclude pdfs based on keywords or phrases I'd be overjoyed.

Any suggestions?

Depending on what kind of tool you want there might be better options out there, but I have personally used the python library PyPDF2 with good results.
