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 am generating a large number of graphs with pdf() and incorporating them in pdf document using pdflatex. According to the pdf() help: 'pdf' writes uncompressed PDF. It is primarily intended for producing PDF graphics for inclusion in other documents, and PDF-includers such as 'pdftex' are usually able to handle .compression. But pdflatex incorporates the R

Dear all, I am plotting a scatter plot for a large sample (1e+05 ordered pairs). This produces a large (~5MB) file in a pdf or postscript terminal, and I am wondering whether there are methods for reducing the size of the resulting file so that it is easier to include it in a document. I'd rather stick with pdf or ps as I am using latex. thanks, Nazareno

Hi, I just noticed that the auto_complete plugin does not work with the CSRF protection in Rails 2.0. I''ve patched the plugin, but I''m wondering if people would like to see the official plugin fixed. If so, speak up and I will write some tests and submit the patch.

Hi IU would like to modify the dev.off function, so that it automatically compresses the created pdf. I am thinking of doing the following in the modified dev.off: 1) Get the filename of the pdf device 2) close the device by calling the original dev.off() 3) compress the pdf file with a system call of pdftk. My question: how can I get the filename of the pdf from the device before it is closed?

Hi Elahe, I have no clue, but maybe you can dump the data fields using pdftk, and work with those in R.

Everyone, I am working on a module with the use of pdktk that merges *.fdf data files with a *.pdf file for a filled out pdf form. I have the need to add a signature to the pdf form. Do any of you know of a way to make this happen? Thanks much!!! Greg Ennis

Everyone, I am looking for a utility that I can use to do a mail merge of data to a pdf image file. The image file does not have any active fields, but will be just an image file.

However, in order to get the pcl file from an original pdf file we have to

Hi all, I have to produce arrangements of 25 simple plots of the type plot(x,y,pch=".") where there are typically on the order of 20000 points. So, overall, I have about 500000 points. When I use the pdf device, I get file sizes (on a Windows machine) of about 10 MB. When I then zip the files, I'm down to about 0.5MB, so the original pdf files were created with a lot of

Hi, Without trying to print 1000000 points (see <http:// finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/42105.html>), I often print maps for which I do not want to loose too much of coastline detail, and/or plots with 1000-5000 points (yes, some are on top of each other, but using transparency (i.e. rgb colors with alpha information) this actually comes through as useful information.
