I have pdftotext 0.26.5, the current version for CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop as far as I can ascertain. The page https://www.xpdfreader.com/pdftotext-man.html seems to suggest that the latest version is 4.02 which seems a gigantic leap ahead. Since I have a Chinese text PDF which I am unable to extract any text...

Hello respected developers, I was wondering if it is possible for xapian to read a password-protected PDF. Searches in the archives and google had yield 0 results. I also tried looking at the source code but I could not find the specific one related to this issue. The characteristic of the set of PDF is as: 1. a set of password protected PDF documents 2. all PDF is set with the same password. 3.

Hi, While searching for a project which matches my interest andskill level, I found this project named Matcher Optimization. This project is really challenging and excting from my view point and I would like to be a part of this project. Optimization techniques metioned in the reference links provided will take some time for me to have a good understanding about them. But I am trying to get my

Hi there, I'm facing the decision if it would be possible to transform several more or less complex pdf files into an R Table-Format or if it has to be done manually. I think it would be a impudent to expect a complete solution, but I would be grateful if anyone could give me an advice on how the structure of such a R-program could look like, and if it's possible in general. Here

Thanks, Marco If cut and paste to a text file fails, try this: pdftotext (from the xpdf project) or http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net pdftohtml is a utility which converts PDF files into HTML and XML formats In addition, pdftk, the command line pdf toolkit may be useful http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ -- Seek simplicity and mistrust it.

I need to do text mining on PDF files. I understand there is a readPDF command in tm that can be used. Have read the 2008 posts on converting PDF files to text by Tony Breyal and others. Wondering if the procedure has been standardized in any tutorial or otherwise? Being new to R, I was able to follow only part of the discussion. Any way to get a set of step by step instructions

...und online which allows me to easily import data from Windows Programs. Hopefully others out there are using the system and already have found the answer to my problem. I have installed on my Centos server a virtual CUPS printer which receives a PS file, and then runs 'ps2pdf' and 'pdftotext -layout' to end up with a text file. On the Windows PC's it's simply a case of installing a printer pointing to this server, and using the HP Colour Laster 2800 PS drivers. Now to my problem. We have finally moved onto Windows 10, and now when I try to install the printer that mode...

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

Hello, I have configure dovecot with solr and I wanted to let solr index content of attachments. For testing I have used biabam command line tool to generate emails with attachments. I have found that dovecot with fts_decoder incorrectly decodes these attachments from biabam and therefore pdftotext has reported corrupted PDF. The problem is that biabam generates header with charset=binary and dovecot message decoder tries to process it as UTF8 or non-UTF8 data. ============================================================ --biabam.ZxWVLybiabam.ZxWVLy Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=bi...

...latest R-News letter (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/ Rnews_2008-2.pdf), the package 'tm' for text mining is mentioned. In that lovely package, there is a function called 'readPDF()'. In order to use this, ?readPDF says "Note that this PDF reader needs both the tools pdftotext and pdfinfo installed and accessable on your system." These tools are available from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html I am able to download this and use it easily from a dos window to convert a pdf file into a txt file. Question: how do i make these tools available to R, so that i...

Hi, One of the AAF features is to be able to index results of methods, but I haven''t seen anywhere how to do this. I have a method that returns the full text of a file and I''d like for this to be indexed. Can anyone out there help me out on this one? Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...This could be used as a secondary check for incremental indexing (i.e. if the file was touched but not changed don?t replace it) and also to collapse duplicates (COLLAPSE=1). The md5 source code is from the GNU testutils-2.1 package. 4) For files that require command line utility processing (i.e. pdftotext) I have added a --copylocal option. This allows the file to be digested while being copied to the local drive and then the command line utility processes the local file saving multiple reads across the network. If we want to expand this it could be used to build a local cache/backup/repository....
