Colleagues,
I'm trying to convert a pdf to a text file with the following code.
# pdf to excel
library(pdftools) # pdf to excel library
# set working directory
setwd("C:/Users")
# input pdf
txt <- pdf_text("C:/Users/10619.pdf")
cat(txt[1])
write.table(cat(txt[1]),file="10619.txt",sep= "\t",row.names =TRUE,col.names
=FALSE)
When I examine the contents of cat(txt[1]) on the console, everything I need is
displayed in the format I need.
However when I execute write.table(cat(txt[1]),file="10619.txt",sep=
"\t",row.names =TRUE,col.names =FALSE) and examine the output, my output does
not match cat(txt[1]).
I suspect that sep= "\t",row.names =TRUE,col.names =FALSE) might be the error.
How can one output the contents of cat(txt[1]) and retain its format?
