I had a r markdown file copied from Roger Peng's tutorial. And I was able to knit to html and Word but had problems knitting to pdf. The test.Rmd code:
My First Knitr Document =============================== This is some text (i.e. a text chunk). here is a code chunk ```{r} set.seed(1) x <- rnorm(100) mean(x) ``` After clicking 'knit to pdf', error:
Output created: test.pdf Error in tools::file_path_as_absolute(output_file) : file 'test.pdf' does not exist Calls: <Anonymous> -> <Anonymous> In addition: Warning messages: 1: running command '"pdflatex" -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode "test.tex"' had status 1 2: In readLines(logfile) : incomplete final line found on 'test.log' Execution halted When I run 'latexmk -version' in cmd (windows), I got:

Updated, to be more precise, the same code worked well on mac (R version 3.4.0 though).
More information: I installed RStudio on E disk while MikTex on C disk.
Also, I am able to use R Sweave compile pdf.
I appreciate if anyone could help.
