R Tool issue with PDF parsing

[amitsingh145]

Hi, 

I'm trying to export PDF files to Alteryx using R tool. I've uploaded the R package pdftools. But I'm getting this error

Error: R (2): Error in file(con, "rb") : invalid 'description' argument

I've reinstalled Alteryx with Predictive Tools Kit. Still it throws the same error. Please look into this. I'm attaching the yxzp file.

Thanks

@amitsingh145 - Modify the File Specification option to just bring in PDF files (*.pdf). You are getting that error because the directory tool is passing pdf and non-pdf tools to the R tool in this case.

Also, follow the guidance in the following link on installing R packages: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Install-R-Packages/ta-p/41265
