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. :) -- Quote of the Week: "Above ground I shall be food for kites; below I shall be food for mole-crickets and ants. Why rob one to feed the other?" --Juang-zu (4th Century B.C.)

Yeah, I care not for their graphics and stuff. Just their texts. -- Quote of the Week: "Above ground I shall be food for kites; below I shall be food for mole-crickets and ants.
