Install pdftools 1.8 in Windows #123

Open stevendavis opened 1 year ago

Question. How can install a pre-built binary version of pdftools 1.8 for Windows? I need the old version to match the behavior of the 1.8 version installed in our production Linux servers.

I tried this:

install.packages("devtools")
require(devtools)
install_version("pdftools", version = "1.8")

With this response:

Error in download.file(sprintf("https://github.com/rwinlib/poppler/archive/v%s.zip",  :
  cannot open URL 'https://github.com/rwinlib/poppler/archive/v0.61.0.zip'
In addition: Warning message:

  URL 'https://github.com/rwinlib/poppler/archive/v0.61.0.zip': status was 'SSL connect error'

I'm new to R and have a poor understanding of R packaging. Any suggestions appreciated.

If it matters, I'm running R version 4.2.2.
