@leopoldinho A couple of general suggestions: - `ghit::install_github(c("leeper/tabulizerjars", "leeper/tabulizer"), INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch", verbose = TRUE)` will give you some more details on what is failing. - Make sure **rJava** is...

I think this is an inherent limitation of PDF format. As I understand it, white space is not represented as actual "space" characters but rather as horizontal offsets for the...

I don't think I understand PDF well enough to know whether that makes any sense.

@soedr @jrcunning Are you also on Mac? Versions?

@jrcunning Thanks. Can you tell me what version of Java you installed? (The underlying java library - tabula - has some updates and it looks like they're causing Mac-specific issues.)

It seems the latest version of the tabula library is likely the issue. Consider re-installing an older version of tabulizerjars with, for example: ```R ghit::install_github("ropensci/[email protected]", verbose = TRUE) ```
