Dennis,

Do you have a TeX installation on your Mac?

pdflatex is typically installed with TeX, which for macOS is usually via MacTeX:

  https://tug.org/mactex/

Once you have that installed, you should be good to go, but if you are currently running an interactive R session, you will likely need to exit that, and then after installing MacTex, restart your R session.

You will also end up with a TeX folder in your Applications folder, where supporting apps will reside, including the TeX Live utility, which can be used to update the TeX installation periodically.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

Spencer,

My apologies, as my eyes caught a different post by Dennis on R-Help, as I was in the process of replying to yours.
