Adobe viewer needed?
Tim, I fear that it must be a setting on your Mac - the default is to show the PDF in-ine in the same window (which uses the Preview engine behind the scenes). I suspect that you must have installed the Adobe plugin at some point (or some Adobe software) - OS X doesn't know anything about Adobe until you install some of their products at which point it's actually really hard to reverse the changes their installers make. Cheers, Simon

Hi,
In R.app 3.2.0, doing
?function -> index -> vignettes -> pdf
R.app requests a version of Adobe Reader. I don?t have this installed, but all OS X users have preview.app
Could the help service be coded to either:
1. just open pdfs (that way they?ll be in a stand alone app configured by the user.
2. set preview.app as the default in-app viewer?
