PDF file will not import

[oracleoftemple]

I'm trying to import a PDF file.  I have done this successfully with other files using a doctotext tool or using R script.  This file, however, does not import anything.  It's as if the file is blank.  I don't know if it's due to the fact that the file has a landscape orientation or something else.  Can someone help me with a solution?

Hi @oracleoftemple

What it looks like to me is that your PDF is an image and not text. Then the R tool won't work. 

A good way to check this is that if you open your PDF and can't highlight anything on it, it's not text.

Hope that helps

You were right.  I tried to highlight, and Acrobat gave me an OCR option, and the text was clear enough to convert it to text.  Thanks!
