Do most packages come with pdf versions of the help files ? If yes, how to I
access the entire pdf file to be able to print it ? Is there a standard
command for that ?
No, the pdf version is not normally installed. If you want to see the
same content on a locally installed package, run
help_start()
then browse to the package. The pdf files are just concatenated
versions of all the help pages shown in that index.
You can produce the pdf using
R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo
where foo is a directory holding the source code to the package.
Alternatively, as others have suggested, just look at the PDF on CRAN.
