is there a command for exporting the current plot as a pdf-file?

I tried dev.copy(pdf) but it generated a pdf-file I couldn't open  
("broken").

Try

quartz.save("my.pdf", type="pdf");

I get a syntax error ...

I don't. Generally I use the File/Save method.

 > quartz.save("my.pdf", type="pdf");
quartz
      2

I also get the same effect with Jeff Ryan's suggestion:
dev.copy2pdf(file="my.pdf")

You are asked in the posting guide to produce the full error message  
and your sysInfo(), and would suggest adding what you get from  
capabilities()
