R script package not available

[Newbee3]

Hi everyone

I am currently struggling on running an r script within the workflow. I am getting error messages as described in here:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/R-tool-for-importing-PDF-files/td-p/48...

So i tried to go with the solution that I was linked to from there and apparently worked for the other guys:

https://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/2019/01/17/installing-r-packages-both-on-alteryx-designer-and-on...

The problem now is:

"Paket 'readxl' ist nicht verfügbar (for R version 3.5.3)" -> "package 'readxl' is not available (for R version 3.5.2)

Does anyone know how to proceed in order to get the functionality of reading PDF files up and running again within Alteryx?
Would be highly appreciated.

Hi @Newbee3 I used this code in the R tool in Alteryx to install the PDF tools. You might need to run your Alteryx Designer as a Administrator if you have those privileges. 

install.packages("pdftools", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")
