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

Hi: 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

My setup: R 2.4.0, Windows 2000, Acrobat Reader 7. When I create a .pdf with translucent colors, the translucency works correctly for points, but not for text. Below is some R code that creates a .pdf with this phenomenon. I was going to report this as a bug in R, but then I tried to view the pdf with a couple of other viewers and found that at least one of the viewers correctly displayed the

Dear R-Help, I need to convert a set of '.pdf' files into an equivalent set of '.txt' files. This is so that i can do some text mining on the content. In the 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

The documents we want to index come in many formats; e.g., HTML, PDF, RTF, Word, Excel, etc., etc., etc. I''ve been searching to find parsers that will translate each of these formats to indexable text, but have had little success. Any help will be appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to export a couple of graphs to pdf . Postscript would be fine too, but I'm using odd page dimensions, which seem to be overwritten when using the "ps2pdf" command. I'm using the pdfpages package in LaTeX to put 6 graphs onto one page (this is why it ought to be a pdf in the end). I have two problems: 1. I'm using

I am currently puzzled by a passage in the R Extensions manual, section 5.10: SEXP lapply(SEXP list, SEXP expr, SEXP rho) { R_len_t i, n = length(list); SEXP ans; if(!isNewList(list)) error("`list' must be a list"); if(!isEnvironment(rho)) error("`rho' should be an environment"); PROTECT(ans = allocVector(VECSXP, n));

Hi, I am using the persp function to plot 3D surfaces, but the plots have "little white lines" when I print them to a pdf file (visible in Acrobat, Foxit, Evince, Xpdf and Gimp). This does not happen when I create png or tiff images. Here is some sample code: pdf("test.pdf") x <- seq(0,1,length=101) f <- dnorm(x, 0, 0.25) z <- c() for(i in 1:100) z <-

Hi I don't think this is an R issue (it is separate from the Cairo Symbol font problem). For PDF output, R actually relies on the Symbol font having the Adobe Symbol Encoding (Appendix D of the PDF Reference https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/pdfreference1.7old.pdf) and just outputs the font as "Symbol", which relies on it being one of the Standard

Dear list, First, I am not writing to ask about embedding Computer Modern font in graphics produced by R. I am generating plots to be saved using pdf() and postscript() in R, and I make use of some math expressions that are provided by R, namely, some greek letters. My question is, do I need to embed the fonts that include these math symbols (say, if they are going out for publication, to have

I see. Peter, you are right about the font that causes the issue. Paul, thanks for your insights. I'll bring this to the Fedora font experts to see if we can arrive at a more permanent fix. I'll report back with any conclusion. @Martin: Meanwhile, at least you have options. One is to embed the fonts, either as Peter suggested or using cairo_pdf instead. Alternatively, Peter also has shown

Martin, I wouldn't rule out an R issue yet. Fonts are... tricky. So I'm cc'ing Paul Murrell here. I tried several viewers here and I see the following: Chrome, Firefox and Libreoffice Draw show the symbols; however, evince, okular and xournal++ agree on **not** showing the symbols. **If** there is a bug, the bug would be in fontconfig, because these ones AFAIK properly delegate on

Hello All, I can't get Adobe Reader to run stable on Centos7, when trying to edit settings or trying to print, it crashes. The issue is people need to digitally sign pdf forms. When I open these forms with anything else then Adobereader, I get EM To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader

Hi all, I am having some fun with traffic shaping, and have run into an interesting situation. Here is South Africa, most internet links are heavily oversubscribed, which means that in most cases the local link is _not_ the bottleneck, and shaping on the local link does not help that much... Does anybody have some tips on shaping such links? How can you get interractive traffic if you

Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere. Anybody know otherwise? Evince and other tools work pretty well, but I have always liked having the "real thing" around for those occasions when they don't. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all

Dear all, I'm using R 2.12.0 on Windows 7 (32bits) I created a filled contour from the attached data using the following code: load('bug.RData') pdf('bug.pdf', width=14, height=7) filled.contour(o4$x, o4$y, o4$z, color=rainbow, xlim=c(4,18), ylim=c(0,35), zlim=c(14,36)) dev.off() If you look (I used acrobat reader 9.4) at the attached bug.pdf, you see an incomplete grid of

That "program" will be detected by your ISP within a day or so, determined to be a virus, and your service will get disconnected...which n turn will not help your latency or jitter at all. VoIP can tolerate a fair amount of latency; latency over about 100ms is heard as a perceptible delay resulting in a connection that appears to be half duplex. Jitter, on the other had, is the real
