Rga: Ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Of...
I always found useful something along the lines of
pdftotext -layout file.pdf | grep -E ...

rga uses pdftotext (from poppler) internally for pdfs, except wraps it in parallelization and a very fast cache layer, since you usually want to do multiple queries per file :)
