Hello:
Apart from readPDF in the tm package, you can use the pdf to text converter
command in linux, which is "pdftotext". Say "file.pdf" is your file, from R
you'd use:
system("pdftotext file.pdf -layout")
This invokes the pdftotext command from within R and creates a file called
"file.txt" with the converted pdf, which you'd have to read into R. The
-layout option is so the conversion to text is as similar as possible to the
original layout of the pdf file.
