[R-meta] Importing Correlations from PDF to table format

Kiet Huynh 
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to automate in R (or any software) the process of importing correlation values from PDF to usable data in a table format that can be used in meta-analysis? My process has been to copy the correlations manually one-by-one from the PDF to excel (which takes a lifetime!), and then import the excel data into R. I'm sure there must be a better, faster, and less error-prone way to do this.

Thank you,

Kiet
