Hiis there a way to generate a pdf, e.g. pdf("test.pdf"), even if the file "test.pdf" is open? (e.g. with acrobat) i.e. I would have to close "test.pdf" in the viewer without any user interaction, than override the file and maybe open it again. thx Christof
This is not an R question, and depends on your unstated OS and precisely how it was opened by the viewer.
R behaves just like any other standards-conformant C program in this respect. For Acrobat, ask Adobe, and so on. For Acrobat Reader the three OSes I use regularly all behave differently, and other PDF viewers behave differently from Acrobat Reader.
