All, Is anyone familiar with a way to use R to read table data from a large collection of PDF files? I'm aware there are various command lines and desktop utilities that might be able to (e.g.,) dump PDFs to text, which could then be parsed for table data. But I'm hoping there is something more integrated that could be incorporated into R functions and scripts to handle large batches of PDFs in a more automated fashion.
Has anyone used R to extract large amounts of tabular data from PDF documents? -bryan ------ Bryan McCloskey, Ph.D. IT Specialist (Data Management/Internet) U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal & Marine Science Center 600 Fourth St. South St. Petersburg, FL 33701 South Florida Information Access: http://sofia.usgs.gov Everglades Depth Estimation Network: http://sofia.usgs.gov/eden Phone: 727.803.8747x3017 * Fax: 727.803.2032 ------ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
