[R] extracting pdf tables...

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear Jeff,
                  Thanks for your reply.

I have the following:

> colnames(IDT[[4]])
[1] "X168"                "TATA.MOTORS.LIMITED" "TATAMOTORS"          "X4"

THe above has to be the first row of IDT[[4]]. The first row is getting parsed as the column name. How do you make that the first row of IDT[[4]]?

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Your code used cbind. My first answer was appropriate for rbind.

So you still need to figure out how to deal with the different columns in the tables, which requires more knowledge about their contents than we have.
