Unfortunately, the pdf I'm scraping is sensitive so I can't share it.
It's about 50 pages long and none of the columns have actual column headers so R is taking the first row and using it as the column names. Not a huge deal, I can always add that row back in and replace the column names. The problem is each page has a different first line so when I run all the pages, it take the first line from each page and takes is as a new column name. So, page one spits out 10 nice columns with the wrong names. Then it moves to page two and recognizes new column names so in addition to adding new rows it adds another 10 columns. So in the end instead of 1000 obs. of 10 variables, I have 1000 obs. of 500 variables.
I hope this explanation makes sense.
Using extract_tables(), I'm able to specify table area and column widths. Is there a command I can use with extract_tables() to tell it not to assume/use column names?
