Fake Error while converting PDF to excel Through R

[NIK7GUPT]

Hi Team, I have a scenario where i am successfully convert PDF to Excel through R , but after successfully conversion it gives a fake error name "R.exit Code" for every run. I have seen many post in Community regarding same , but there are no such article to remove that particular error. Can anyone have encountered this error before and way to tackle this.

Any help or suggestion will be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi @NIK7GUPT ,

yes reading in pdfs is usually a huge challenge and the respective programming language error messages are not that helpful.

Do you already know the Alteryx Intelligent Suite? It is a commercial add-on for the Alteryx Designer.

It includes Text Mining features like import pdfs in a convenient way without programming:

If you want to stick to R - check out the following posts:

Hi @PhilippK  Thank you for the reply , However i have not tried Text mining things as our scope of case study limited to R. And yes i have tried extracted PDF with text value with the help of these suggestion listed below in article, but there is no way to remove that fake error. I am able to successfully extract text from the PDFs, but it just that when we connect these workflow with help of Crew runner, whole process will fail due to fake error. Let me try with Text mining options and get back to you soon. 

Cheers !!
