rt_read_pdf

R Documentation

Covert PDF files into TXT files.

Description

Takes a path to a PDF file and returns a TXT file. Note that there are a number of such converters and different converters return TXT files formatted differently. The functions within this package were created to work well with the converter used within this function (poppler). This function was taken from the package 'oddpub' by Nico Riedel and hereby modified for the purposes of this package.

Usage

rt_read_pdf(filepath)

Arguments

filepath

The path to the TXT file as a string.

Value

A character object.

# Path to PDF file
filepath <- "../inst/extdata/PMID30457984-PMC6245499.txt"

# Convert into string
article_txt <- rt_read_pdf(filepath)

## End(Not run)
