title: Extracting text data from PDF files
body: <p>Is it possible to parse text data from PDF files in R? There <a href="http://crantastic.org/search?q=parse+pdf" rel="noreferrer">does not appear to be a relevant package for such extraction</a>, but has anyone attempted or seen this done in R?</p>
  
  <p>In <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3637781/converting-a-pdf-to-text-html-in-python-so-i-can-parse-it">Python there is PDFMiner</a>, but I would like to keep this analysis all in R if possible.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
