Hello I have around 200 PDF-documents, containing data i want organized in R as a dataframe. The PDF-documents look like this; http://www.nabble.com/file/p21667074/PRRS-billede%2Bmed%2Bfarver.jpeg or like this; http://www.nabble.com/file/p21667074/PRRS-billede%2Bmed%2Bfarver%2B2.jpeg So i want to pull out the data in coloured boxes it become organized like this (just in R instead of excel); http://www.nabble.com/file/p21667074/PRRS-billede%2Bexcel.jpeg So the 0'es and 1'es represent when either "PRRS-neg" occurs presented by a 0 in the colums PRRS-VAC and PRRS-DK on a particular date. And the same with "PRRS-pos VAC" or "Vac" presented by a 1 in the colum PRRS-VAC, and "PRRS-pos DK" or "DK" presented by a 1 in the colum PRRS-DK. And also with "sanVAC" there should be a 1 in the colum VACsan, and with "sanDK" there should be a 1 in the colum DKsan. The first date for each "CHR-nr" should either be the earliest date ne the red box (as in the first picture), or the date with word "f?r" before the date (as in the second picture). All the 200 PDF-documents looks like the ones in the pictures, each reprenting a different "CHR-nr" Hope you can help me
Not on the basis of .jpeg files, I think. We'd need some indication of what the PDF looks like inside. There's a tool called pdftotext, which might do something for you, IF you can figure out reliably where your data begin and end. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
