Retrieving a paragraph from a pdf file using shell commands
In the reference section of a research paper(in pdf form), many other paper names are cited which have been used inside the pdf at different places. If I give an input, the name of a paper which has been cited in the reference section and want to display the section (the paragraph) inside the pdf where it has been cited, is there any way to accomplish this using shell scripts?
