I have a pdf file that I would like to parse into R: http://www.williams.edu/Registrar/geninfo/faculty.pdf
For now, I open the file in Acrobat by hand, then save it "as text" and then use readLines(). That works fine but a) I am concerned that some information may be lost and b) I may be doing this a lot, so I would rather have R grab the information from the pdf file directly. So: is there something like readPDF() for R? Thanks, Dave Kane PS. If you're curious, here is the sort of work that I want to do with this data: http://www.ephblog.com/2010/01/08/class-update-and-faculty-ages/ ______________________________________________ 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.
