Hello.

Is there a text-based PDF (view/read)er for command line in Linux 
(Debian stable [Jessie])'s terminals like text based web browsers (Lynx, 
w3m, eLinks, etc.)? I also don't mean a PDF converter too. I tried 
"less" command that people suggested online, but it shows unreadable 
garbages and XML codes.

Thank you in advance. :)

I don't think so. PDF is a graphical format: it has no meaning for a
character-cell terminal with no graphics.

But you could use pdftotext to view the textual content.

Thanks. Yeah, I care not for their graphics and stuff. Just their 
texts.
