I have a problem with making pdf files. I use the code below: pdf(file="resindex.pdf",width= 6, height= 7, family = "Helvetica", title = "MBF Data",bg="white") bwplot(... dev.off() When I run a script with the above code in it, by using "source", it produces a PDF file which I can not open with Acrobat. When I copy just the lines above, from my editor, into R commander, then the output to the PDF works fine, i.e. I can open the file with Acrobat reader. What is the problem? thank you, in advance for advice! Michael Jerosch-Herold
