Hi JD,
do you have the pdf open in some app, e.g., Acrobat Reader? If the file
is open, R can't write on it. My (German) errors in this case look like
yours:
Fehler in pdf(paste(pic.directory, "/full_map.pdf", sep = "")) :
unable to start device pdf
Zusätzlich: Warning message:
In pdf(paste(pic.directory, "/full_map.pdf", sep = "")) :
cannot open 'pdf' file argument 'Pictures/full_map.pdf'
Just close the Acrobat Reader or whatever.
Best,
Stephan

Hello -
I am trying to create a pdf file in R, but I keep getting an error that says
it cannot open the pdf device. Here is the code and output:
pdf(file="test.pdf")
Error in pdf(file = "test.pdf") : unable to start device pdf
In addition: Warning message:
In pdf(file = "test.pdf") : cannot open 'pdf' file argument 'test.pdf'
Until yesterday I could use the pdf() function without problems, so I am not
sure what happened. The error does not go away if I restart R or restart my
computer. Any ideas???
