Collapse "docs" for textmining in R - r

Question

I've got a problem trying to us the FindAssocs code when converting a file from PDF using the pdf_text code from the PDF Tools pacakge.
I've sort of pinpointed the issue. It's that because I can't use "readLines" the Corpus creates a separate area for each page in the PDF. So when I get to the FindAssocs, it returns 1's because they are on both pages.
Is there a workaround? For reference: code down below.
Thanks in advance :).
text <- pdf_text(file.choose())
docs <- Corpus(VectorSource(text))
inspect(docs)
toSpace <- content_transformer(function (x , pattern ) gsub(pattern, " ",
x))
docs <- tm_map(docs, toSpace, "/")
docs <- tm_map(docs, toSpace, "#")
docs <- tm_map(docs, toSpace, "\\|")
docs <- tm_map(docs, content_transformer(tolower))
docs <- tm_map(docs, removeNumbers)
docs <- tm_map(docs, removeWords, stopwords("dutch"))
docs <- tm_map(docs, removePunctuation)
docs <- tm_map(docs, stripWhitespace)
dtm <- TermDocumentMatrix(docs)
m <- as.matrix(dtm)
v <- sort(rowSums(m),decreasing=TRUE)
d <- data.frame(word = names(v),freq=v)
head(d, 10)
as.data.frame(findAssocs(dtm, terms = input$v, corlimit = 0.3))

If you want to combine all the pages you loaded with pdf_text into one field, you can use paste(unlist(text), collapse =" ") before you transform the text into a corpus.
# my test pdf consists of 20 pages.
text <- pdf_text(file.choose())
summary(text)
Length Class Mode
20 character character
# collapse the text into one field
text <- paste(unlist(text), collapse ="")
summary(text)
Length Class Mode
1 character character
