Is it possible to display a pdf file in an Rmarkdown file? Say, for example, a previously saved image myimage.pdf
What I am aiming is a form of
\includegraphics[width=0.5]{myimage.pdf} 
- 1Yes, pdf_output supports raw latex, so you can do as you suggested. You'll need to put units on the width, though.tmpname12345– tmpname123452015-01-21 19:13:38 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 19:13
- I was able to do as you said and include it in the pdf output, thanks. Is there a way to include it in the HTML output?earnestatistics– earnestatistics2015-01-21 22:25:23 +00:00Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 22:25
- 1Not unless you convert it to png or jpeg first.tmpname12345– tmpname123452015-01-22 01:39:30 +00:00Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 1:39

An update from the very end of 2017
It is possible to import a PDF image using knitr::include_graphics(), e.g.
```{r label, out.width = "85%", fig.cap = "caption"} include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf") ``` 3 Comments

knitr::include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf") worked for me, but include_graphics("path-to-your-image.pdf") did not. Is it possible that you missed to add knitr:: in your example?

Sure. I assume you load knit at the very beginning

Nice that this sorta works now, but the size control does nothing for me in knitr 1.20
You can insert this directly into your R Markdown. The alternate name will only be displayed if the image does not load.
{width=500px}

For the record and as suggested in the comments, this works perfectly fine as long as you're knitting to pdf (this is a LaTex command that won't work if you try to knit to HTML or docx though):
\includegraphics[width = \textwidth]{myimage.pdf} You can change the width with something like
\includegraphics[width = 0.5\textwidth]{myimage.pdf}
