I had Adobe Acrobat 5 and Adobe Reader 9 installed. The .pdf "open" association is to Reader. When I selected "Help | Manuals(in pdf) | An Introduction to R", it brought up the file in Acrobat instead of Reader. After making sure the default associations were correctly pointing to Reader, I took the extreme step of uninstalling Acrobat. Now when I try the same thing, R responds with "Error: access to 'doc\manual\R-intro.pdf' denied." Outside of R, double clicking the file brings it up in Reader as it should. Asking for HTML help works fine, so access to doc\ hasn't really been lost. It seems that R picks up a reference to the pdf reader at installation time, doesn't do it right, and refuses to let go. On the other hand, reinstalling R didn't fix the problem. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
