Programmatic Conversion of PDF Tables

v0.1 · Feb 15, 2016 · CC0

Description

Allows the user to convert PDF tables to formats more amenable to analysis ('.csv', '.xml', or '.xlsx') by wrapping the PDFTables API. In order to use the package, the user needs to sign up for an API account on the PDFTables website (<https://pdftables.com/pdf-to-excel-api>). The package works by taking a PDF file as input, uploading it to PDFTables, and returning a file with the extracted data.
