21.5 PDF Documents
If instead of text documents we have a corpus of PDF documents then we can use the tm::readPDF() reader function to convert PDF into text and have that loaded as out Corpus.
This will use, by default, the pdftotext command from
xpdf to convert the PDF into text format. The xpdf
application needs to be installed for tm::readPDF() to work.
