The pdftotext from xpdf would also be useful for KFind, so that it can search in PDF files. I see the following options: 1. KFind doesn't care about KOffice's xpdf and uses pdftotext as an optional runtime "requirement". The user must then install xpdf if he wants to search in PDF files. 2. KOffice installs pdftotext as a binary. The user can then install xpdf or KOffice if he wants to search in PDF files. 3. Copy xpdf from KOffice to kdelibs so that it can be used as a library. I think 1. or 2. are the best options, as there will be other programs like antiword which can only be "integrated" into KFind as an external binary anyway. Opinions?
