text analysis and topic modeling

[Khati Zolfaghari]

Hello dear all,

I am wondering if we can do a text analysis with STATA or not?
I have PDF files of the report of the country and during reading, I want to extract the activity that the government did in terms of increasing/decreasing the taxes and expenditure. My reports are quarterly data and total they are around 8000 pages.

unfortunately, I could not find any films and specific courses in terms of STATA.

I appreciate any help and assistance you can provide.

Best regards,
Khati

there are some community-contributed commands (e.g., txttool from SJ 14:4) but they only work on Stata dta files so you need to get your pdf files into Stata somehow; given the number of pages, I have no idea what would be the best way to do that

@Rich Goldstein thanks for your reply.
actually, my reports are quarterly and each has a maximum of 35 pages in pdf format.
total they are 8000 pages.
So, basically, I can do each report separately. but I could not find a specific link to learn.

I appreciate your assistance.
