Konqueror, pdf and OCR

My guess is that this is the least bad forum to post this in. I reinstalled my system the other day. It was and is Debian testing.

Gnome is my environment of choice, But I want to use Konqueror as my filebrowser (and Konsole as my console).

This time around though, I dearly miss the feature of opening pdf's in a tab and the ability to grab text and images through.

Please let me know what to install to rectify this problem.

KPDF (supplied with KDE 3.4 and 3.5) is able to copy texts and paste them elsewhere. Make sure you open PDF files with KPDF.

hi forums,

My suggestion is pdf reader with a OCR recognition component. :) It is awsome.
