Similar to some others here, I have folders full of PDFs. I recently discovered Recoll, which is great for searching them. Fuzzy search of contents as well as filenames.

As well as this, I have a script which find all .pdf files without a corresponding .txt file, then generates one with pdftotext. Really handy, I can then easily grep -ril or ag -til for contents. One gotcha: the text files have line breaks, meaning matches don't always work.
