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???
You likely don't have write permission in the current directory. Use
setwd() to change to a directory where you do, e.g. setwd(tempdir()) on
most systems.
