Hi,

I saw that xpdf is now part of KOffice. 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?

Regards
 Daniel
