Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to export a couple of graphs to pdf . Postscript would
be fine too, but I'm using odd page dimensions, which seem to be overwritten
when using the "ps2pdf" command. I'm using the pdfpages package in LaTeX to
put 6 graphs onto one page (this is why it ought to be a pdf in the end).
I have two problems:
1. I'm using "arrows" to add error bars to the plots and they come out all
misplaced. I've read in older posts that this might be solved using Acrobat
Reader, but would this mean that I have to teach LaTeX (Lyx) somehow to use
Acrobat too?
Almost certainly a bug in your PDF viewer. Presumably you are using
pdftex (the program) as your TeX engine, and that passes the inputted PDF
code through. The suggestion is to view the final PDF in Acrobat Reader
or ghostview, and not viewers based on xpdf.
2. I'm also using a legend that includes some dots (pch=1, pch=19), which pdf
obviously doesn't understand and plots little q symbols instead (postscript
will understand these symbols). Do I have to load a certain font to get it to
work?
The problem is not 'pdf' but most likely your broken PDF viewer. I've
seen this one a few times. R 2.8.0 alpha has an option in pdf() to work
around this particular viewer bug, but do you really want to be using such
a viewer?

This is not reproducible, or I would have tried it.
