[pdftex] can't open pdf with acrobat

[Pieter Mestdagh]

Here's the LaTex script:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\SweaveOpts{concordance=TRUE}

Hello

\end{document}

The error message from acrobat: 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'

I tried changing the pdf compiler used by Sweave from pfdLaTex to XeLaTex and this does generate pdf files that can be opened with acrobat.

Best,
Pieter

I don't know much about pdftex, but almost certainly you need to provide the mailing list
with:

1.  The "most basic LaTeX script" that you used (and details on how you used it, as
   appropriate)

and

2.  What symptoms you get when you can't open the files with acrobat.

Sincerely,


Paul Vojta

Hi,

I use Sweave in combination with MacTex to generate pdf's directly from R (using RStudio). I can open these pdf's with preview on Mac but not with Acrobat (tried both on Mac and Windows).

To rule out issues with figures included in the pdf I tried the most basic LaTex script but had the same problem. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pieter
