I'm trying to install the tabular package in order to pull tables from a pdf document. I tried the solution outlined here: Recognize PDF table using R, but I can't actually get all the precursor packages installed. I got rJava installed fine, but when I ran "library(rJava)" I got the following message:

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details: call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) error: unable to load shared object 'C:/Documents/R/3.3.1/library/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll': LoadLibrary failure: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

In addition: Warning message: package ‘rJava’ was built under R version 3.3.3 Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rJava’

I was able to install devtools as well, but when I ran "devtools::install_github("ropensci/tabulizer", args="--no-multiarch")", I got the following error message:

Downloading GitHub repo ropensci/tabulizer@master from URL https://api.github.com/repos/ropensci/tabulizer/zipball/master Installing tabulizer "C:/DOCUME~1/R/R-33~1.1/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD \ INSTALL "C:/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpsteRkU/devtools2ac44b92539b/ropensci-tabulizer-bc195cb" \ --library="C:/Documents/R/R-3.3.1/library" --install-tests --no-multiarch

Not sure what exactly is going on. Thanks in advance for any direction here.

    Are you really running R-3.3.1? You are a few versions behind. Might want to also try upgrading to something more recent. (R-3.5.1 is the current version). Commented Jul 26, 2018 at 20:06
  • Also that "Downloading GitHub repo..." isn't an error message. Does nothing happen after that message? Or does an actual error occur later? Commented Jul 26, 2018 at 20:07
  • Sorry, I cut the quote short: ERROR: dependency 'tabulizerjars' is not available for package 'tabulizer' * removing 'C:/Documents/R/R-3.3.1/library/tabulizer' Installation failed: Command failed (1) Commented Jul 26, 2018 at 20:36

I updated R to the latest version, downloaded 64 bit Java, added the new 64 bit Java to my PATH, and then the instructions from Recognize PDF table using R worked.
