Thanks for the idea. I added this feature a few minutes ago [1]. I'm trying to convert stream content to UTF-8. Maybe later, I will add a more flexible solution to convert to other encodings.

My bad, I meant UTF-8. My brain had a relapse to 1988.

And, thank you!

This works perfectly now on my test files. I can find the pages that have specific strings I was looking for.

This has saved me clogging up my PC by installing the Java runtime and iText RUPS.
