pdf driver (PR#1169)

Tue, Nov 13, 2001 11:38 PM

You also forgot to tell us the Acrobat version.  But printing errors from
Acrobat are notorious.  If Acrobat Reader can display the file, the
error is almost certainly in Acrobat Reader, especially as you can print
on another printer.

I don't propose to investigate this as an R bug: I am pretty sure
R's driver is conforming to the PDF spec.

{Please ignore earlier message; I forgot R.version}

Not sure whether the R pdf driver is the problem, or some HP problem, or
local, but the zip file below has a simple R script [pdfbug.r] using pdf
() to create R2pdf.pdf that causes a "79.00FE PRINTER ERROR" on a HP
5000 N LaserJet printer when printed from Acrobat Reader.

The following other tests do not cause printer errors:  (1) printing
R2pdf.pdf from Acrobat Reader to a HP 8000 DN LaserJet; (2) creating a
postscript file [R2eps.eps] in R, then converting to pdf with Acrobat
Distiller [R2distill.pdf] and printing to the HP 5000; (3) creating a
postscript file, then converting to pdf with Adobe Framemaker
[R2maker.pdf] and printing to the HP 5000.

The other curiousity that emerged from this is that the pdf files from
both distiller and framemaker rotated the plot.
