Hi Rainer, I am not aware of any possibility to pass the :file parameter from one code block to another. But for your use case, the file name is also the return value of the R code block. So, you can do: #+name: mypdfplot #+header: :results graphics #+header: :file Test.pdf #+header: :width 4 #+header: :height 8 #+header: :pointsize 8 #+begin_src R plot(runif(100)) #+end_src #+BEGIN_SRC sh :session shell :var mypdf=mypdfplot() cp "$mypdf" Test2.pdf #+END_SRC Best, Andreas
