Intro I wanted to find out how to mine text from PDF files with R. Last week I tried to extract text from a PDF file with just text in it. This week I will try extracting text from a PDF file with a table. Next week, I will try it from a picture inside a PDF file. I’m assuming you’re using RStudio as your IDE (Integrated Development Environment). I’m sure most of this can be done with using something else as well.
