tdf is a terminal-based PDF viewer written in Rust using ratatui, designed for performance and responsiveness even with very large PDFs. It supports asynchronous rendering, searching, hot reloading, and optional EPUB/CBZ support via feature flags.

Use cases

  • read pdfs in the terminal
  • view large pdf files without a gui
  • search text inside pdfs from the command line
  • watch a pdf that changes on disk
  • open epub or cbz files in a tui

When to avoid

  • you need a graphical viewer with zoom, annotations, or form filling
  • you want a polished end-user application rather than a hobbyist tool
  • you cannot install build dependencies like libfontconfig and clang
