title: Reading data from PDF files into R
body: <p>Is that even possible!?!</p>
  
  <p>I have a bunch of legacy reports that I need to import into a database.  However, they're all in pdf format.  Are there any <code>R</code> packages that can read pdf?  Or should I leave that to a command line tool?</p>
  
  <p>The reports were made in excel and then pdfed, so they have regular structure, but many blank "cells".</p>
