Hi,

 

First let me appoligize if this is the wrong venue for this question...

I work for a small financial company and we often receive statements
that are in pdf form.  Pulling the data from these can be quite time
consuming and I'm wondering if anyone on the list knows of a way to read
a pdf in as text in R.  I know that google has come out with a few tools
that allow you to search the text of pdfs which has given me hope that
something along these lines may be possible but I've been unable to find
any R documentation on inputing data from PDFs.  Any
thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Ben
