Yes, but we'd like to see the one that is failing, otherwise
how can we see what's wrong? :-)

Here I can spot a first problem though: this rule doesn't ensure that
the script used to build the PDF file will be created before being
executed in the recipe. Let's see a minimal example showing the issue:
$ cat Makefile
.SUFFIXES: .R .pdf
.R:
cp $< >$@ && chmod a+x
.R.pdf:
echo $* >$@.tmp && mv $@.tmp $@
$ touch foo.R
$ make foo.pdf; echo \$? = $?
./foo >foo.pdf.tmp && mv -f foo.pdf.tmp foo.pdf
/bin/sh: ./foo: No such file or directory
make: *** [foo.pdf] Error 127
$? = 2
# You have to explicitly create the `foo' script first, then
# things will work.
$ make foo && make foo.pdf; echo \$? = $?
cp foo.R foo && chmod a+x foo
./foo >foo.pdf.tmp && mv -f foo.pdf.tmp foo.pdf
$? = 0

But I asked your make version :-) This is mostly a make issue, not
an automake one.
