That worked for me. I deleted two plugins from the global
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins folder named
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
and dated from 2020. Now things are fine.

Kevin,
oh, that's something entirely different - what I was talking about was if you
use
vignette("survival")
in R it opens a Preview with the vignette.
What you describe seems like a browser plugin issue, because the help system is
just an html page (assuming you are talking about the html help system). So it
seems that you may have installed some Adobe browser plugin that doesn't work
anymore. The plugins live in ~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/ (user) and
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/ (global), so you should remove it from there.
Cheers,
Simon

When I try to open a PDF vignette (say a vignette from the survival
package)from the help system in R it does not open Preview. I cannot actually
open any PDF vignettes. All I get is a finder window with the error I
previously described. It asks me to select an appropriate viewer. Selecting
Preview opens nothing and more errors are thrown to the Console. I could send
you and Duncan screenshots off-list, since I know that theses lists are picky
about attachments.
The steps I take are:
1. Open the R app.
2. Start the Help system.
3. Navigate to the survival package vignettes.
4. Click the PDF link for the The survival package
Then the errors happen.
I will send a screenshot of the result off list.

Kevin,
can you then describe in more detail what you are taking about? If you open a PDF
vignette in R, it simply calls "open" so it will open in Preview (as that is
your system viewer). And you have confirmed that it is what happens, so are you taking
about something else? If so, please describe every step you make to reproduce whatever
issue you are having.
Thanks,
Simon

Simon,
Preview is my default viewer. In the finder window that came up I tried
selecting Preview as the viewer to use and it still failed. The following
errors went to the Console.

Hi Kevin.
If you just run `open some.pdf` in a terminal, does it open properly in Preview?
