title: Using readPDF in R (tm package)
body: <p>I'm a beginner at R and having a bit of trouble using the <code>tm</code> package. I need to extract specific data from <a href="http://www.flbog.edu/about/_doc/budget/ea0607.pdf" rel="nofollow">page 55 through 300 of this</a> and thought that R might be a good way to do so. (If anyone has a better idea, please let me know!) I did some searching and after installing the <code>tm</code> package and the <code>xpdf</code> package,
  I've tried reading <a href="https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-November/180201.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> and tried zx8754's solution with no luck. I suspect it has something to do with the readPDF command -- I get the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in readPDF(PdftotextOptions = "-layout") :    unused argument
    (PdftotextOptions = "-layout")</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I think it has to do with trying to use the <code>tm</code> package and the <code>xpdf</code> packages together, and so I read Tony Breyal's solution (I can't post more than 2 links), putting pdfinfo and pdftotext as environmental variables (I'm on Win 8) and restarting. I'm sure I'm missing something -- right now I have pdftotext.exe in my working directory in R. Can anyone help me configure this correctly so that the tm package calls on the xpdf files correctly and readPDF functions like it should? </p>
  
  <p>Again, I'm very new to this, so apologies if I'm way off. All help would be very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
  
  <p>Justin</p>
