similar to: Adding text to existing PDF's created with R

Having read all of the replies, it seems there are solutions for the question and the OP points out that some solutions such as making the document twice will affect the creation date. I suspect the additional time to do so is seconds or at most minutes so it may not be a big deal. But what about the idea of creating a PDF with a placeholder like "Page N of XXX" and after the file has

You could easily omit the Page X of xX, but leave the timestamp Then add Page X of XX programmatically using pdftools or some similar pdf command line tools.

OS X R 4.3.1 Colleagues I often create multipage PDFs [pdf()] in which the text "Page X" appears in the margin. These PDFs are created automatically using a massive R script. One of my clients requested that I change this to: Page X of XX where XX is the total number of pages. I don't know the number of expected pages so I can't think of any clever way to do this. I

Hi Scott, I have never done this myself but I read something recently on the r-help distribution that was related. I just did a quick search and found a few hits that might work for you. 1. https://medium.com/@CharlesBordet/how-to-extract-and-clean-data-from-pdf-files-in-r-da11964e252e 2. http://bxhorn.com/2016/extract-data-tables-from-pdf-files-in-r/ 3.

I think I would use pdftk to extract the form data. All subsequent manipulation in R. HTH Ulrik Eric Berger <ericjberger at gmail.com> schrieb am Mi., 24.

Colleagues R 2.10.1 on a Mac I read in textfiles using readLines, then I process those files, then I use R to execute another program. Occasionally those files contain characters other than letter / numbers / routine punctuation marks. For example, a bullet (option-8 on a Mac) triggers the problem. Although R can read and process those characters, the other program cannot so I would like to

R 2.12.2 Windows 7 Colleagues, I just took advantage of the function: readWindowsShortcut in R.utils. It accomplished my goals and I was interested in learning its inner workings. So, I typed the function at the command line (without arguments or parentheses). R returned: function (...) UseMethod("readWindowsShortcut") <environment: namespace:R.utils> providing no

Colleagues, I am using R (2.9.2, all platforms) to search for a complicated text string using regular expressions. I would appreciate any help you can provide. The string consists of the following elements: SOMEWORDWITHNOSPACES any number of spaces and/or tabs ( any number of spaces and/or tabs integer any number of spaces and/or tabs ) Examples include: WORD ( 123 ) WORD(1 )

Colleagues R: 2.12.2 OS X I have a set of text objects in the form (I am showing 3 of what is more likely to be 20 or so): OBJECTS <- c("abcSOMETHINGCOMMONegf", "xSOMETHINGCOMMONyz", "SOMETHINGCOMMONnme") As you can see, all contain "SOMETHINGCOMMON" and the position varies. But, I don't know what that "SOMETHINGCOMMON" is. Is there an

Mark Thanks for pointing this out. I did a default installation of R. Does this mean that I need to reinstall from the command line?

Colleagues, What is the easiest means to embed a: ? (registered) or ? (trademark) sign in text in a graphic. I would like to use mtext and avoid plotmath, if possible. Ideally, the sign should be superscripted but I can easily sacrifice that. Optimally, I need a solution that works in both OS X and Windows (? XP) and with R versions ? 2.11 Thanks in advance.

Colleagues Assume that I have a vector containing some text strings, some of which contain a particular character. I could like to apply "toupper" to the text before the character. For example (in this case, "|" is the particular character): ORIGINAL: TEXT <- c("aaaa", "bbb|cc", "|ddd") AFTER APPLICATION OF toupper: TEXT <-

Will this need to be done many times? If not, it might be just as easy to apply conditional formatting to cells after they're already in Excel.

R 4.2.2 OS X Colleagues A file that I have read includes strings like this: "EVENT ? 30 sec" When I include the string in a graphic using: mtext(STRING, ?) it appears as: "EVENT ... 30 sec" Is there a simple work-around (short of reformatting all the strings, then using plotmath)?

Luke Thanks ? I revised the code to: ERRORMESSAGE <- try(source(USERSCRIPTFILE, local=T), silent=T) print(ERRORMESSAGE) now returns: $value [1] 0 $visible [1] FALSE Not clear what to make of that.

Colleagues I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X). Several days ago, I inquired about adding margin text to lattice graphics. Jim Price offered a useful reply, suggesting that I add: page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01) to my call to the function. The entire function that he suggested was; xyplot(1 ~ 1, par.settings = list(layout.heights =

Colleagues, Hopefully a simple problem: I want to delete a column with a known name from a dataframe. I could write: FRAME <- FRAME[, names(FRAME) != NAMETODELETE] or FRAME <- FRAME[, !names(FRAME) %in% c(NAME1, NAME2, ETC)] Is there some simpler means to accomplish this?

Hello, I?m new to R and am using it with RStudio to learn the language. I?m doing so as I have quite a lot of traffic data I would like to explore. My problem is that all the data is located on a number of PDFs. Can someone point me to info on gathering data from other sources? I?ve been to the R FAQ and didn?t see anything and would appreciate your thoughts. I am quite sure now that often,

Colleagues, I want to create the following array: "A1", "A2", "A3", "B1", "B2", "B3", "C1", "C2", "C3" I recall that there is a trick using "c" or "paste" permitting me to form all combinations of c("A", "B", "C") and 1:3. But, I can't recall the
