a) Raw URL text is not legal in R code. URLs MUST ALWAYS be enclosed in single 
(') or double (") quotes in R.

b) The source function expects to go where you tell it to go and retrieve text 
composed of R statements. A PDF is a binary file... even if it happened to 
contain some R code that you could read with your PDF viewer it would be 
inaccessible to the R interpreter because it is not in a text file.

c) I can't really tell where you are headed with this code you gave us... if 
you want to read the vignette you could use your web browser to download that 
PDF and use your viewer to open it. If you want to run any of the code shown in 
it you can copy it to the console interactively.

d) The Bioconductor project has a different mailing list... for questions not 
generically about R you should look at https://www.bioconductor.org/help/support
