I asked 2 questions a couple of days ago but strangely not of them was published!
So I'll try again but this time the topics are merged :)
1. How can I get C code highlighting to Sam or Acme?
2. Is there a client like page(1) that allows me to copy text from a
PDF file? Very useful while reading Fransisco's books...

you could use ps2ascii foo.pdf > foo.txt, and serch for the sentence there
.... but it is not very convenient :-(

Use acme(1) to read Nemo's books in text format, it works so much
better because you can just click on things.
