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.
To go further, look at https://whoosh.readthedocs.io and https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch
The documentation is available on the Babel Home Page_.
